报告内容简介：

Chile is a country rich in natural resources, being main exprter of copper, salmon, wine, fruits and pulp for paper. Forestry is the second economy income of the country, representing the 2.6% of the GDP. Currently Chile has 2.4 million ha of forest plantations and 12 million ha of native forests. Among forest plantations, we have mainly radiate pine (70%) and eucalypts (30%). Both species have been used by the two main forest companies (Aruaco and CMPC) for at least 50 years and they have been going through a quite intensive forest genetic improvement program, having nowadays clonal plantations, with the best genotypes. In order to do this, we work together with the forest companies, to aid this improvement by using biotechnological tools, that help understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenotype of the best trees.
