Grupo de trabajo Mejora Genética de la Resistencia a insectos y enfermedades

01 de Agosto de 2011

Se celebra en Oregón (EEUU)

Proposed date: August 1-5, 2011

Location: USDA Forest Service
Dorena Genetic Resource Center (DGRC),
Cottage Grove, Oregon, 97401 USA (near Eugene, OR, USA)

Purpose: This workshop will provide an international forum to discuss the status and future plans for applied tree resistance programs for pathogens and insects. An array of issues (including climate change and disease resistance in natural populations) and research tools to fast-track the development of durable resistance in tree species will be presented. The primary audience is those involved with operational breeding programs as well as researchers and extension professionals.

The workshop will include field trips, indoor sessions, posters and a proceedings.
Breeding programs for resistance, at various stages in development, will be compared: white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) in several white pine species; Phytophthora lateralis, in Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Port-Orford-cedar, Lawson’s cypress); Phytophthora ramorum on tanoak; and many others.

The number of participants is limited. To help in our planning, please respond to Dr. Richard Sniezko (rsniezko@fs.fed.us, if you are interested in attending. Please pass this early alert to colleagues.
