Newton 277 Index 285 Preface This proceedings is based on a joint meeting of the two IUFRO (International Union of Forestry Research Organizations) Working Parties, Somatic Cell Genetics (S2.04-07) and Molecular Genetics (S2.04-06) held in Gent, Belgium, 26-30 September, 1995. Although a joint meeting of the two Working Parties had been discussed in the past, this was the first such meeting that became a successful reality. In fact this meeting provided an excellent forum for discussions and interactions in forest bioteclUlology that encouraged the participants to vote for a next joint meeting. In the past decade rapid progress has been made in the somatic cell genetics and molecular genetics of forest trees. In order to cover recent developments in the broad area of biotechnology, the scientific program of the meeting was divided into several sessions. These included somatic embryogenesis, regeneration, transformation, gene expression, molecular markers, genome mapping, and biotic and abiotic stresses. The regeneration of plants, produced by organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis, is necessary not only for mass cloning of forest trees, but also for its application in genetic transformation and molecular biology. Although micropropagation has been achieved from juvenile tissues in a number of forest tree species, in vitro regeneration from mature trees remains a challenging problem in most hardwoods and conifers. The mechanisms involved in the transition from juvenile to mature phase in woody plants are poorly understood. This transition can now be investigated at the molecular level. By employing Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer and particle gun DNA delivery systems, it has been possible to genetically transform tissues from forest tree species, and to regenerate transgenic plants. In addition, the molecular characterization of transgenic tissues as well as plants has been accomplished in several hardwood and conifer species. Gene expression studies indicate that transgenes affecting different traits, for example, insect resistance, lignin biosynthesis, or leaf phenotype, are expressed at the post transcriptional level. However, transgenes stability remains a major concern in transgenic research whether they are annuals or woody plants. Gene expression studies are contributing to the understanding of gene regulation in development and differentiation of tissues and wood in the forest trees. Molecular markers have opened up a Pandora's box for studies in population genetics, genetic variation, genetic charactzerizaion, and genome mapping in trees. A large set of molecular markers has been developed in the last 5 years. These include, restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs), amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs), restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLGS), simple sequence repeats (SSRs), single-strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCPs), and PCR-codominant markers. Some of these markers have been effectively utilyzed for monitoring genetic diversity in tree populations, mapping of genes for simply inherited Mendelian traits as well as quantitative trait loci (QTL) for complex traits, and understanding of genome organization and evolution in the forest tree species. Isolation and characterizations of genes is another area of interest in the molecular biology of trees. In addition, stress-related gene expression in trees is providing useful information on the mechanisms involved in host-parasite interactions. These and other related areas in genetics and molecular biology of forest trees were covered at this joint meeting. We hope this proceeding will provide a broad view of the latest developments in the biotechnology of woody plants. M. Raj Ahuja Wout Boerjan David B. Neale ix Section I.
