Dear Colleagues of IUFRO Division 2 and IUFRO 2.09.02 Unit, For your information, I have recently left the FCBA Technological Institute, France (Oct. 1st, 2021). I become an Associate Member of IUFRO and remain committed to the coordination of the 2.09.02 Unit on “Somatic embryogenesis and other vegetative propagation technologies” as an independent researcher. I will continue to serve the Unit with the support of Dr. Paloma Moncaleán (Spain) and Dr. Yong-Wook Kim (Rep. Korea). You can now easily reach me at my permanent Email address: jfrancois.trontin(a)gmail.com <mailto:jfrancois.trontin@gmail.com> or by visiting the 2.09.02 webpage <https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20900/20902/> for contact details. Kind regards, Jean-François Trontin IUFRO 2.09.02 Coordinator
