ABSTRACTEEC-9980423STRAUSSForests are major sources for producing structural, fiber, chemical and energy products. In addition, their value for carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat and maintenance of air and water will grow substantially in the future. However, because of their long life cycle and delayed production, the productivity of industrial forest products is considerably slowed. There is an urgent need for intensely managed short-rotation tree plantations. Genetic technology can improve forest productivity and therefore will have major national and international economic impact. The I/UCRC's research agenda will address 1.) Flowering control, 2.) Transformation and 3.) Verification resistance.

森林是生产结构、纤维、化学和能源产品的主要来源。 此外，它们在固碳、野生动物栖息地以及维持空气和水方面的价值今后将大幅增长。 然而，由于其生命周期长和生产延迟，工业森林产品的生产率大大降低。 迫切需要加强管理的短期轮伐期植树。 遗传技术可以提高森林生产力，因此将对国家和国际经济产生重大影响。I/UCRC的研究议程将解决1。开花控制，2.）转换和3.）验证阻力。
