Re: [IUFRO Div 2] On developing a basic online course for tropical forest genetics

Dear all I also thank Sheila for the nice idea. My group is willing to participate mostly in 3 fields if you consider relevant - C santos and Sonia Silva - Plant/Forest species analysis (ploidy, DNA, cell cycle Dynamics, clastogenicity, etc) by flow cytometry - C Santos- Forest species facing emerging challenges - climate changes- impact in carbon metabolismo and oxidative stress (from gene expression to plant performance (species as: Quercus suber, Eucalyptus, Melia, Olive, etc) - Dr C Santos and Celeste Dias - Forest species metabolomics (currently we are developing metabolomic approaches for Eucalyptus, Pinus, Moringa and Melea, etc species) Our group moved from University of Aveiro to University of Porto, so this is my new email: csantos(a)fc.up.pt kind regards conceição santos Full professor, university http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4129-6381 --- [image: FCUP] Maria Santos csantos(a)fc.up.pt Professor Catedrático Biologia FACULDADE DE CIÊNCIAS DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO Rua do Campo Alegre, s/n, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal www.fc.up.pt ------------------------------ *From:* div2 &lt;div2-bounces(a)lists.iufro.org&gt; on behalf of J.

I am interested in collaborating towards this goal. Last year, I got involved in a similar course, oriented towards the use and conservation of forest genetic resources, in collaboration with Maarten Van Zonneveld from Bioversity International, which was was offered at BICU University in Nicaragua. Please let me know how can I get involved.

It could be part of larger effort to establish an online course available to any interested person, perhaps available in multiple languages (English, Spanish, French). The course materials might be used for a local course, or for review. This sort of material is best given in a face-to-face class, but I think it would help a local instructor to have such materials available. I believe is a big need for this sort of course for many tropical areas. I am wondering if anyone would be interested helping to construct this course? Credit would be given to all participants.
