Fwd: FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT: IUFRO WP2.02.13 - Workshop on Forest Genetic Common Gardens

by Santiago C. González-Martínez

Dear colleagues and friends of the IUFRO Division 2, I enclose the first announcement for a IUFRO *Worshop on Forest Genetic Common Gardens* that will take place next November in Spain. During the Workshop, among others, plans for establishing new common garden networks will be discussed. The Workshop is organised in hybrid form, so that attendance on-line in also possible. *Deadline for inscriptions is August 31st* (see inscription form in the workshop webpage). Best regards and see many of you in Stockholm at the IUFRO World Congress! Santi ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: RICARDO ALIA MIRANDA <alia(a)inia.csic.es> Date: Fri, 3 May 2024 at 11:57 Subject: FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT: IUFRO WP2.02.13 - Workshop on Forest Genetic Common Gardens To: DIANA CRISTINA BARBA EGIDO <dbarba(a)inia.csic.es> Dear colleagues and friends, Please see attached the first announcement for the* Workshop on Forest Genetic Common Gardens *(Workshop on Forest Genetic Common Gardens <https://www.genfored.es/workshop-on-forest-genetic-common-gardens/>), that will take place *on November 27 to 29th**, 2024, in Madrid (Spain). * The workshop is sponsored by* IUFRO WP 2.02.13 – Breeding and genetic resources of Mediterranean conifers, *in collaboration with *RG 2.04.00 Genetics *and *WP 2.04.02 Breeding strategy and progeny evaluation*, as well as the *European H2020 and Horizon Europe Projects* *OptFORESTS *and *FORGENIUS, *and the* Spanish Network of Genetic Tests *(*GENFORED*)*.* *Background* Genetic trial (or common garden) networks are an essential infrastructure which provide experimental data to address different aspects of the adaptation, evolution, conservation and sustainable use of forest tree species under climate change. However, many of the networks established in the past, had one single major objective: the selection of best material for afforestation, with strong biases in their choice of populations and sites. Recently, new tools (phenotyping, genotyping, environmental modelling) have been developed, making it necessary to revisit the analysis of existing networks. As scientists we can provide insights for stakeholders in order to replace and improve these networks in the light of the new scientific and practical developments. *Audience:* Scientists and Managers of genetic trial networks. Short presentations and discussions will be organized in different sessions. *Practical information*: On-site p*articipation* is limited to 40 people, according to order of registration. It is possible to attend on-line. We will provide information on on-line assistance in the webpage closer to the time of the workshop. *Registration*: There are no registration fees. Please use the registration form for registration (until 31th August 2024). Registration Form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16-zauL7aZcDqgxRNMXmXbanS448FCODdmZJOBbg2BS…> *------------------------------------------------------------------------* You can contact Ricardo Alia (alia(a)inia.csic.es) or Diana Barba ( dbarba(a)inia.csic.es) for any further question. --

SAVE THE DATE - 8th International Workshop on Resistance Mechanisms and Breeding in Forest Trees

by Caterina Villari

Dear colleagues and friends, please see attached the first announcement for the 8th International Workshop on Resistance Mechanisms and Breeding in Forest Trees "Putting promise to practice in the face of global challenges". The workshop is sponsored by the IUFRO working parties 7.03.11 “Tree Resistance to Insects and Pathogens” and 2.02.15 “Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-Needle Pines" and will take place on June 2 to 6, 2025, in Vernon, British Columbia. SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP: The Tree Resistance Workshops series provides an international forum to discuss the status and future plans for both tree resistance breeding programs and scientific research efforts in the field of tree resistance mechanisms against pathogens and insects. The topics of discussion will include, among others, conventional tree breeding initiatives, ecology and genetics of resistance and tree-antagonistic relationships in natural and managed tree populations, mechanisms of recognition and signaling of biotic damage and plant defensive strategies, comparative genomics, GWAS, genomic selection and other genomic initiatives looking for resistance, interactive effects of climate change and abiotic stressors with biotic resistance, the role of microbiome in resistance, and new methods, technology, and tools for resistance screening. The primary audience is those involved with operational breeding programs as well as academic researchers and extension professionals. We welcome the participation of students and early career professionals. PLEASE HELP US: To help with the planning of the event, please let us know your interest and if you are planning to attend by filling out the following short survey by May 31st, 2024: View/vote in browser<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=AFLbbw09ikqwNtNoXjWa3P_…> FOR MORE INFORMATION (or if your organization is interested in sponsoring this workshop): please contact Caterina Villari (cvillari(a)uga.edu) and Nicholas Ukrainetz (Nicholas.Ukrainetz(a)gov.bc.ca) Further details regarding registration, abstract submission, and travel arrangements will be provided in August 2024. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Caterina Villari (she/her) Associate Professor Co-Director - Southern Pine Health Research Cooperative 706 389 5031 Office 706 542 0119 Lab cvillari(a)uga.edu Villari Forest Pathology Lab<https://warnell.uga.edu/about/centers-labs/villari-forest-pathology-lab> southernpinehealth.org<https://southernpinehealth.org/> D.B.
