Clonal Material as a Focus for Genetic and Physiological Research in Forest Trees

  • Chapter
Clonal Forestry I

Abstract

Most people who need to know about forest trees would agree that our understanding of the biology of these fascinating but recalcitrant organisms is still utterly sketchy. This is especially true for the physiological and biochemical mechanisms that underlie such common phenomena as dormancy, spring phenology, shoot elongation, root foraging, to name a few; or responses to stress induced by excess or shortage of water and nutrients, extreme temperatures, and pests. Our ignorance is even more profound when it comes to the genetic control of these mechanisms.
