8th International Workshop on Resistance Mechanisms and Breeding in Forest Trees - CALL FOR ABSTRACTS and REGISTRATION

by Caterina Villari

Dear colleagues, 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 deadline for abstract submission is December 20, 2024. 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. Become a sponsor and help make this workshop a huge success. Sponsorship money will be used to keep registration costs low.
