Description: This project supports a U.S.-Indo workshop on application of plant biotechnology in forestry. The meeting which is organized by the Tata Energy Research Institute (TERI) in New Delhi and a U.S. team headed by Dr. Ralph Mott of North Carolina State University will cover the relatively specific aspects of biotechnology and genetic engineering that are more usable in forestry application. These include tissue culture techniques and genetic manipulation of woody plants, as well as study of the drawbacks to nitrogen fixation application in forestry. The workshop is designed to articulate the issues of transfer of scientific developments in biotechnology to field implementation programs, to identify specific gaps in the literature in this field and to compile recent contributions to fill this gap, and to identify specific research needs for possible collaboration. Scope: This project fits well the objectives of the U.S.-India program in its dealing with an area of science that is of great interest to U.S. and to Indian scientists and where the cooperating scientists are leaders in the field. The Indian institution TERI is a relatively new private research organization with extensive ongoing research programs in areas of energy including heavy emphasis on forestry and biomass. It has a large well trained staff most of whom have extensive research background in biotechnology. The U.S. scientists are active researchers in the field of biological sciences and its application to forestry. The meeting is likely to stimulate strong collaborative research.

描述：该项目支持美国-印度应用研讨会 植物生物技术在林业中的应用。 会议由 位于新德里的塔塔能源研究所（TERI）和一个美国研究小组 由北卡罗来纳州州立大学的拉尔夫·莫特博士领导， 生物技术和遗传学相对具体的方面， 在林业应用中更有用的工程。 这些 包括木本植物组织培养技术和基因操作 植物，以及研究固氮的缺点 应用于林业。 研讨会旨在阐明 将生物技术的科学发展成果转移到外地的问题 实施方案，以确定文献中的具体差距， 并汇编最近的贡献，以填补这一空白，并 确定可能合作的具体研究需求。 范围：该项目非常符合美国的目标-印度方案 在处理一个科学领域，这是极大的兴趣， 美国和印度科学家以及合作科学家在哪里 领导者在外地。 印度机构TERI是一个相对较新的机构， 私人研究组织，拥有广泛的正在进行的研究计划 在能源领域，包括高度重视林业和生物质。 它有大量训练有素的工作人员，其中大多数都有广泛的研究 生物技术背景。 美国科学家积极参与 生物科学领域的研究人员及其在 林业的 会议很可能会激发强有力的合作 research.
