The 5th International Conference of the IUFRO unit 2.09.02
“Somatic Embryogenesis and Other Vegetative Propagation Technologies” (https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20900/20902) will be held at the University of Coimbra (Coimbra, Portugal) during September 10-15, 2018.
The conference will be hosted by the Centre for Functional Ecology, Department of Life Sciences (DCV), University of Coimbra (www.uc.pt<http://www.uc.pt>)
Jorge Canhoto and Sandra Correia (Univ. of Coimbra) are arranging the Conference together with the Executive & Local Arrangement Committee.
The Organizing Committee has selected the following conference theme:
“Clonal trees in the bioeconomy age: opportunities and challenges”
Please forward this announcement to everyone in your team, organization, country interested by vegetative propagation of trees and more generally woody plants!
All the scientific, social and practical information you need to attend the conference will be regularly updated at our Conference Webpage:
www.uc.pt/en/uid/biotec/events/iufro2018<http://www.uc.pt/en/uid/biotec/events/iufro2018>
Our main objective is to foster the development and practical outcomes of vegetative propagation (bio)technologies for conservation, breeding/selection and efficient, cost-effective deployment of resilient, productive tree /woody plant varieties.
During our last Conference in La Plata (September 2016, https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20900/20902/public…) the importance of plantation forestry was highlighted as forests are becoming increasingly fragmented and vulnerable in the context of both anthropic- and climate related pressure. Flexible and popular, low-cost vegetative propagation methods are considered critical and well-suited (especially somatic embryogenesis) for both sustainable plantation forestry and conservation of genetic resources. Application-oriented research efforts in close collaboration with breeders may allow the careful selection and cost-effective, rapid deployment (and turn-over) of elite varieties expressing natural or induced adaptation response to environmental stress.
The main topics of the conference therefore include physiological, biochemical, molecular and (epi)genetic aspects of somatic embryogenesis and other cloning technologies, feedback from field trials and their application in tree breeding as well as industrial production of varieties. Anyway, contributions on complementary issues are welcome (e.g. conservation, genetic transformation) including social and regulatory aspects related with clonal trees.
Since inception at the initiative of Yill Sung Park (2008), our Working Party had already 4 successful conferences: Suwon2010 (Korea), Brno2012 (Czech Republic), Vitoria2014 (Spain) and La Plata2016 (Argentina). We are expecting strong participation for Coimbra2018 as well, and we have the pleasure to invite all colleagues interested by the vegetative propagation of trees to contribute to the scientific program and discussions.
Join us for a productive and friendly meeting!
v A Conference Brochure summarizing the key information is available and attached to this announcement. Feel free to widely circulate this brochure in your Institution, to interested Colleagues and your favorite Networks!
v Important dates to remember are June 22nd (abstract submission) and July 7th (registration at reduced fee). As for previous IUFRO 2.09.02 international conferences we tried to keep the regular fees quite low (400 €), especially for students (250 €).
v We strongly encourage young scientists to attend the Conference and make oral or poster presentations. Following Vitoria2014 and LaPlata2016 we are keen to announce our third student’s awarding scientific competition. The related information is available at our Conference Website. Deadline for applicants: June 15th.
v Two IUFRO travel grants (Scientist Assistance Program) are also available for researchers from economically disadvantaged countries to attend the Conference. See the criteria for sponsorship and how to apply at our Conference Website. Deadline for applicants: June 22nd.
v The Executive Committee is also preparing a technical tour and several cultural and social events (gala dinner, visit to main monuments and a senerade of Fado)! Join us and discover the latest advances in vegetative propagation of trees and also the Secrets of Coimbra, the Old Capital of the Portuguese Kingdom which is full of heritage from the past!
We are looking forward to seeing you again at Coimbra!

Dear members of the IUFRO Division 2 List,
I am a PhD student from Bocconi University, member of the UNFF Children and Youth Major Group.
Together with Prof. Valentina Bosetti, a lead author of the Fifth IPCC Report, I am working on a research project on deforestation.
To carry out our research we have constructed a survey:
https://unibocconi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9SrYlUWHcKVTijr
If you have 8 minutes to complete it, it would give a significant contribution to our research and to my work for my PhD dissertation.
Participants can win $100 Amazon gift cards.
Forest experts from a wide array of countries and organizations have already completed this survey, and having your perspective would be really valuable to us.
The aim of our research project is to investigate how different actors perceive, conceptualize and frame the problem of deforestation, the different strategies to address it, and the related challenges.
We will gather the data only for research purposes and all data will be kept confidential.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Best regards,
Silvia Pianta

The fifth International Conference of the IUFRO unit 2.09.02 “Somatic Embryogenesis and Other Vegetative Propagation Technologies” (https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20900/20902) will be held at the University of Coimbra (Coimbra, Portugal) during September 10-15, 2018.
The conference will be hosted by the Centre for Functional Ecology, Department of Life Sciences (DCV), University of Coimbra (www.uc.pt<http://www.uc.pt>)
Jorge Canhoto and Sandra Correia (University of Coimbra) are arranging the Conference together with the Executive & Local Arrangement Committee.
The Conference Organizing Committee has selected the following theme for our meeting:
“Clonal trees in the bioeconomy age: opportunities and challenges”
********
Our main objective is to foster the development and practical outcomes of vegetative propagation (bio)technologies for conservation, breeding/selection and efficient, cost-effective deployment of resilient, productive tree varieties.
During our last Conference in La Plata, https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20900/20902/public…) the importance of plantation forestry was highlighted as forests are becoming increasingly fragmented and vulnerable in the context of both anthropic- and climate related pressure. Flexible and popular, low-cost vegetative propagation methods are considered critical and well-suited (especially somatic embryogenesis) for both sustainable plantation forestry and conservation of genetic resources. Application-oriented research efforts in close collaboration with breeders may allow the careful selection and cost-effective, rapid deployment (and turn-over) of elite varieties expressing natural or induced adaptation response to environmental stress.
The main topics of the conference therefore include physiological, biochemical, molecular and (epi)genetic aspects of somatic embryogenesis and other cloning technologies, feedback from field trials and their application in tree breeding as well as industrial production of varieties. Anyway, any contribution on complementary issues are welcome (e.g. conservation, genetic transformation) including social and regulatory aspects related with clonal trees.
Since inception at the initiative of Yill Sung Park (2008), our Working Party had already 4 successful conferences: Suwon2010 (Korea), Brno2012 (Czech Republic), Vitoria2014 (Spain) and La Plata2016 (Argentina). We are expecting strong participation for Coimbra2018 as well, and we have the pleasure to invite all colleagues interested by the vegetative propagation of trees to contribute to the scientific program and discussions.
Join us for a productive and friendly meeting!
Please forward this announcement to everyone in your organization/team interested by vegetative propagation of trees and more generally woody plants!
All the scientific, social and practical information you need to attend the conference will be regularly updated at our Conference Webpages:
www.uc.pt/en/uid/biotec/events/iufro2018<http://www.uc.pt/en/uid/biotec/events/iufro2018>
********
v A Conference Brochure summarizing the key information is available and attached to this announcement. Feel free to widely circulate this brochure in your Institution, to interested Colleagues and your favorite networks!
v Important dates to remember are May 31 (abstract submission) and June 30 (registration at reduced fee). As for previous IUFRO 2.09.02 international conferences we tried to keep the regular fees quite low (400 €), especially for students (250 €).
v We strongly encourage young scientists to attend the Conference and make oral or poster presentations. Following Vitoria2014 and LaPlata2016 we are keen to announce our third student’s awarding scientific competition. The related information is available at our Conference Website.
v Two IUFRO travel grants (Scientist Assistance Program) are also available for researchers from economically disadvantaged countries to attend the Conference. See the criteria for sponsorship and how to apply at our Conference Website.
v The Executive Committee is also preparing a technical tour and several cultural and social events (gala dinner, visit to main monuments and a senerade of Fado)! Join us and discover the latest advances in vegetative propagation of trees and also the Secrets of Coimbra, the Old Capital of the Portuguese Kingdom which is full of heritage from the past!
We are looking forward to seeing you again at Coimbra!

Dear IUFRO colleagues,
My name is Isabel Mendoza, I work at the University of Valencia. I am
writing an entry on how plant scientists manage (or not) to balance their
professional and personal lives for the Plantae Self Reflection Blog
series. For that I am gathering answers of fellow plant scientist to a
short questionnaire (here—>https://goo.gl/Ag7f9g) in order to learn how
they deal with both sides of their lives. I will be very great full if you
invest a few minutes (5 tops!) of your time to answer the questionnaire
and, if you feel like it, share it with your plant science peers.
