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.
