This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major and exciting changes have taken place recently in various aspects of bio technology and its applications to forestry. Even more exciting is the prospect of major innovations that the entire field of biotechnology holds for plant growth in general. The importance of these developments for the forestry sector is considerable, particu larly since forestry science has not received the kinds of technical and R&D inputs that, say, agriculture has received in the past few decades. Y ct the problems of defor estation as well as stagnation in yields and productivity of existing forests throughout the world are becoming increasingly apparent, with consequences and ecological ef fects that cause growing worldwide concern. Policies for application of existing knowl edge in biotechnology to the field of forestry and priorities for future research and development are, therefore, of considerable value, because it is only through the adop tion of the right priorities and enlightened policies that scientific developments will move along the right direction, leading to improvements in forestry practices through out the world. It was against this backdrop that the Tata Energy Research Institute (TERI) or ganised a major international workshop on the "Applications of Biotechnology in For estry and Horticulture" at New Delhi in January 1988. The present volume covers the proceedings of this international workshop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have always had, and will continue to have, an interdependence with forests. Given the reality of a growing world population, more productive, healthy, and sustainably managed forests are needed. We rely on the services forests provide, like cleaning water and slowing climate change by absorbing atmospheric carbon. We need sustainably managed trees to produce paper, packaging, homes, food, and renewable energy. We need to keep our forests healthy and productive to fulfill all these needs and to protect forested areas from decline. These Principles are crucial because biotechnology is increasingly being used on trees and in forests. These Principles were developed in recognition that responsibly used forest biotechnology has the potential to benefit society, economies, and the environment. Today there are invasive threats damaging our forests. We face a changing climate, deforestation, and illegal logging. Forest biotechnology can be a powerful tool against many of these threats. Scientists have already designed biotech trees that are resistant to disease and changing climates, growth rates that produce more wood fiber with fewer inputs on less land than conventional trees, and biometric tools to police illegally traded timber. Today there are over one million biotech poplar trees with the Bt gene that were established on commercial plantations in China in 2003. Genetic work on cacao trees is being explored to help the species that is susceptible to viruses in much of the world. Similarly, biotech papaya trees saved that industry in Hawaii from being destroyed by the Ring Spot virus. Hundreds of researchers and organizations around the world have helped to pioneer these technologies in a responsible manner. Forest biotechnology is also being practiced in new ways, in new places, and by new researchers. But not every nation has a robust regulatory system or opportunities for interested public stakeholders to engage in issues important to them. We need the Responsible Use: Biotech Tree Principles to help guide long-term stewardship of biotech trees regardless of where they are developed or used. We need these Principles to foster a higher standard in biotech tree management, biotech forest stewardship, and ethical behavior. Through an open dialogue that continues today, a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including university researchers, conservation and environmental groups, and industry leaders, created the Responsible Use: Biotech Tree Principles that are guided by these core beliefs: * Biotech trees should benefit people, the environment, or both * Risks and benefits of biotech trees must be assessed * Transparency is vital and stakeholders must be engaged * Social equity and indigenous rights are important and must be respected * Biotech tree use must follow regulations in the country of their application These Principles are unique because they are the first, and only, guidelines that include the entire biotech tree lifecycle from conception to final product. The Institute of Forest Biotechnology will continue to manage this initiative in a transparent way. Please visit the website dedicated to strengthening these principles at www.responsibleuse.org.

This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American chestnut, whitebark pine, and several species of ash in the eastern United States are just a few of the North American tree species that have been functionally lost or are in jeopardy of being lost due to outbreaks of pathogens and insect pests. New pressures in this century are putting even more trees at risk. Expanded human mobility and global trade are providing pathways for the introduction of nonnative pests for which native tree species may lack resistance. At the same time, climate change is extending the geographic range of both native and nonnative pest species. Biotechnology has the potential to help mitigate threats to North American forests from insects and pathogens through the introduction of pest-resistant traits to forest trees. However, challenges remain: the genetic mechanisms that underlie trees' resistance to pests are poorly understood; the complexity of tree genomes makes incorporating genetic changes a slow and difficult task; and there is a lack of information on the effects of releasing new genotypes into the environment. Forest Health and Biotechnology examines the potential use of biotechnology for mitigating threats to forest tree health and identifies the ecological, economic, and social implications of deploying biotechnology in forests. This report also develops a research agenda to address knowledge gaps about the application of the technology.
