Dear colleagues,
You may now register for the 2014 IUFRO Forest Tree Breeding Conference in
Prague at
http://www.iufrobreeding2014.org
We hope that you will attend to learn more about our shared passion for
maintaining, improving and restoring forests through scientifically based
forest tree breeding. The week-long conference will include a variety of
topics such as advances in breeding theory, genetic evaluation protocols,
progeny testing, and interaction between forest tree breeding and other
disciplines. And at the conclusion of each day’s program you will be able
to explore one of the most beautiful cities in Europe... Prague.
Hope to see you in Prague!!!

Subject: JUNE 2014 IUFRO Conference (a): Genetics and Conservation of White Pine Species (5 needle pines) and RUSTS of Forest Trees Groups 2.02.15 & 7.02.05
Greetings,
2nd Announcement
Genetics of Five-Needle Pines and Rusts in Mountain Landscapes:
Conservation, Utilization and Evolution in a Changing Climate
Joint Meeting
Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-Needle Pines (IUFRO 2.02.15)
Rusts of Forest Trees (IUFRO 7.02.05)
Strobusphere
The joint meeting will be held June 15-20, 2014 in Ft. Collins, Colorado, U.S.A. bringing together scientists working with Genetics and Conservation of White Pine Species (5 needle pines) as well as those working with Rusts of Forest Trees.
There has been an excellent response to the survey accompanying the first announcement and we look forward to meeting all of you in Colorado in June 2014 and seeing the latest in science developments in these areas. There has been tremendous activity in areas such as to gene conservation, rust resistance and genomics since these groups last met, and this forum will provide an excellent chance to exchange information and form further collaborations. The planned fieldtrips in the Rocky Mountains will be an opportune time to see forest tree species and pathogens firsthand and a chance to continue discussions with colleagues in spectacular mountain-top landscapes.
Additional information will be forthcoming in the next announcement and on website updates, but key information for now:
Abstracts submission for oral or poster presentations will be open from 1 Dec 2013 to 15 Feb 2014. Format will be provided on the website and in the attached document.
Hotel Reservations: The Hilton in Ft. Collins has put aside a block of rooms at a very favorable rate (U.S. $91/night). The number of rooms at this rate will be limited and we encourage you to make your reservations early. http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/personalized/F/FNLCOHF-GIU-20140613/inde…. Reference block name “IUFRO” when making your hotel reservation.
Registration: Registration fee will cover meeting attendance, most lunches, two dinners, social events, and fieldtrips; an optional Friday fieldtrip to walk through a treeline Pinus aristata ecosystem will be an additional charge. We anticipate registration to open starting in January 2014. Registration will be approximately U.S. $400.
