In this webinar, participants will explore the vast genetic diversity found in trees, which possess larger genomes than most other organisms on Earth. Unlike agricultural crops, trees remain largely undomesticated, meaning many genetics and genomics tools commonly used in agriculture are not yet applicable to them. This session will describe several techniques successfully adopted in forest trees to address current management questions related to timber theft, seed transfer recommendations, and biogeographic histories. This session is the seventh in a series of eleven webinars on Tree Improvement.
