by Yiping Qi

Dear Colleagues, I’d like to welcome you to attend the IUFRO Tree Biotech 2024 conference, August 4-8, in Annapolis, MD, USA. The registration and abstraction submission deadline (June 30, 2024) is approaching. We have developed a preliminary conference program, with many oral presentation slots (including a few keynote slots) selected from abstracts. https://treebiotech.org/program You may directly register and submit your abstract at this registration site: https://app.certain.com/profile/form/index.cfm?PKformID=0x3390665abcd In addition, we also launched a focus issue at the Tree Physiology journal, titled “Biotechnology innovations for woody perennials research and application”. Please check out the details: https://academic.oup.com/treephys/pages/call-for-papers-for-upcoming-specia… We look forward to seeing you in Annapolis, a beautiful town at the heart of the ‎Chesapeake Bay. The conference venue is very close to Washington DC and three major airports (IAD, BWI, and DCA). Best, Yiping Qi On behalf of the Conference Organizing Committee -- Yiping Qi Professor Plant Science and Landscape Architecture University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 1-301-405-7682 qilab.weebly.com https://agnr.umd.edu/about/directory/yiping-qi

Division 2 Administrative Meeting in Stockholm

by Santiago C. González-Martínez

Dear IUFRO Division 2 community, Our next Division 2 Administrative Meeting will take place during the IUFRO World Congress in Stockholm, on *Thursday June 27th, Room K12, at 18:00-20:00 CEST*. The meeting room has not full videoconference capabilities, but we will try to set up a Zoom meeting so that colleagues on-line can follow the meeting too. A fist list of topics to deal with are: 1. Meet the new Co-Coordinator of the Division, Amanda de La Torre (Northern Arizona University, USA). 2. Revamping the Physiology part of the Division (we really need help from forest physiologists to move forward with this, volunteers are very much appreciated!). 3. Appoint new officeholders for the WP/RG with vacants. 4. Action plan for new period (2024-2029): planned conferences and workshops, opinion papers, integration of early-career researchers. 5. Constitution of Task Force for development of the Division 2 video. Please, let me know about any other items for the Agenda. See you soon, hopefully! Santi -- Santiago C.

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. --
