2. May 9, 20052 Theme 4 Forest trees for the future Identification of superior genotypes for propagation in various genera Functional analysis of genes, and studies of molecular processes, determining wood and fibre properties Genetic engineering of growth and wood properties Elucidating dependency of wood quality on genes, growth regulators and environmental parameters Functional analysis of genes, and studies of molecular processes, controlling pest and disease resistance, water and nutritional biologi for increased survival and growth Technology for mass propagation through sexual and vegetative methods

3. May 9, 20053 Theme 4 Innovation Breakthroughs in increased production of biomass Production of trees with wood quality for different use of wood raw materials Increased economic yield Increased resilience and reduced vulnerability for trees to hazards, pests and diseases Adaptive regeneration material to climate change 0.5% annual increase in productivity of the improved seed sources
