It will be held in Ilhéus, Brazil on September 1-6, 2013. The conference web site: <http://www.iufro-at-lzuu.lt/programme/tentative-scientific-program-of-the-conference> http://www.iufro2013.ufop.br Registration and abstract submission are open from February 1 to May 1. According to the agreement with organizers, we will organize a session “Genetic aspects of climate change and air pollution” and plan to have 5- 7 oral presentations. We would therefore like to encourage you to apply for an oral or poster presentation dealing with genetic research related to abiotic stresses and climate change scenarios. Please send a tentative title in reply to this mail as soon as possible, so that we can prepare the aforementioned session. Please be aware that we should not miss this opportunity for presentation of the genetic aspects at the multidisciplinary IUFRO conference, staying in the focus of cooperation related to the air pollution and climate change effects on forests. Best wishes, The 7.01.04 team Roman Longauer, Om Rajora, Elina Oksanen, Teodora Best, Gerhad Mueller-Starck PS Would you have colleagues who may be interested, forward this message to them, please.
