Forests are essential ecosystems that supply ecological services, raw materials, and climate regulation, and plant biotechnology provides valuable tools for sustainable management. The session will stress the applications of plant biotechnology in forestry, such as tissue culture for mass propagation of elite trees and genetic engineering for resistance to diseases, stress tolerance, and better quality wood. Experts will present advancements in molecular breeding for enhanced growth rate and durability of tree species. Case studies will highlight the application of biotechnology in rehabilitating damaged forests, preserving threatened species, and generating biomass for bioenergy. The session will also cover issues related to long generation periods, the maintenance of genetic diversity, and regulatory issues in forest biotechnology. By combining biotechnology with forestry practice, participants will learn how new plant science informs sustainable forestry management by striking a balance between ecological conservation and economic growth.
Welcome to Plant Biology Conference 2026, where global researchers, academicians, and ecologists unite to share advancements in plant genetics, physiology, biotechnology, ecology, and sustainable agriculture and conservation practices.
