Fourth International Workshop on the Genetics of Host-Parasite Interactions in Forestry
Native and non-native pathogens, insects and animals continue to negatively impact forest ecosystems and plantations worldwide. Climate change will alter host-damage agent relationships and may increase detrimental impacts from many biotic agents. Genetic resistance within tree species is a key element to maintaining forest health.
EFETAC co-sponsored the Fourth International Workshop on the Genetics of Host-Parasite Interactions in Forestry held in Eugene, OR, July 31 - August 5, 2011. The purpose of this workshop was to advance progress in genetic resistance programs by fostering collaboration between scientific and management communities from throughout the world.
