Dear colleagues,
We have extended the deadline for both abstract submission and early bird registration.
The new deadline for abstract submission is January 15, 2025.
The new deadline for early bird registration is February 10, 2025
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We cordially invite you to participate in the 8th IUFRO International Workshop on Resistance Mechanisms and Breeding in Forest Trees organized by IUFRO WPs 7.03.11 (Tree Resistance to Insects and Pathogens) and 2.02.15 (Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-Needle Pines).
When: June 1 to 6, 2025
Where: Vernon, British Columbia, Canada
Registration is now open: Please visit the website<https://evoque.swoogo.com/iufro2025/begin> for more details and to register. The new deadline for early bird registration is February 10, 2025.
Abstract submission: We are now accepting abstract<https://evoque.swoogo.com/iufro2025/6084000> submissions through the website. The new deadline for abstract submission is January 15, 2025.
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 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.

Dear Division 2 Officeholders and colleagues,
IUFRO Headquarters is organising a on-line meeting to facilitate that you
integrate properly into the IUFRO structure. As many of you are new to your
position, I think it would be very important that you participate in one of
these events (see all information and registration link below).
I take this opportunity to 1) circulate the Minutes of the Administrative
Meeting we held during the past World Congress in Stockholm; and 2) enclose
some updated documents for guidance on your activity at IUFRO.
I thank you for your generous service to IUFRO.
All my best,
Santiago
