| Abstract | Forests are a highly significant component of Canada's landscape and economy. They are subjected to an ever increasing burden through the pressures of competition and the environment. Canada's forests must be restocked with phenotypically superior, genetically improved trees that will mature to provide a competitive product for the future. Traditional improvement and silvicultural practices, assisted by developing biotechnologies, will be needed to fulfil this responsibility. This discussion specifically highlights recent developments in the emerging field of conifer biotechnology and indicates some of the applications to which they may eventually be put. |
