For. Sci. 59 2002 461 INRA EDP Sciences 2002 Foreword The last 10 years have witnessed considerable progress in molecular biology trangenesis and genomics and the assessment of wood and end-product properties. Genetic improvement programmes for wood properties and other characteristics of economic and ecological importance which have traditionally focused on phenotypic assessments . of wood density volume and adaptive traits may in future be mainly concerned with new traits and or genes that make it possible to reduce the cost of breeding. The possibility has also emerged of the mass propagation of forest trees by somatic embryogenesis for the rapid deployment of superior genotypes. The Wood Breeding Biotechnology and Industrial Expectations WBB conference was held from 11-14 June 2001 in Bordeaux France . WBB was organized by INRA Équipe de Génétique et Amelioration des Arbres Forestiers and sponsored by the following organizations The European Union noQLAM-2000-00226 INRA AFOCEL CTBA Conseil Regional d Aquitaine and Smurfit Comptoir du Pin. This multidisciplinary conference assembled 210 scientists from state institutions universities and industry in 28 countries and covering a wide spectrum of expertise in genetics biotechnology and wood sciences. WBB was a joint meeting between a group of European Union funded projects dealing with the general topic of the conference Wood Breeding and Biotechnology the 9th Conifer Biotechnology Working Group and the IUFRO and working parties. The objectives of WBB were 1 to provide a forum for presentations and discussions on the introduction of biotechnologies molecular and cellular biology somatic embryogenesis molecular genetics and wood quality traits in tree breeding programs 2 to identify with the participants from industry the main topics to be investigated in the future in order to meet both the increasing demand for wood and the environmental standards expected of wood processing industries and
