Applied Biotechnology and Physiology of Tree Species

This volume presents current evidence base in tree biotechnology and functional physiology, with applications to forest and agroforestry systems. Bringing together contributions on genome editing, molecular breeding, plant tissue culture, clonal forestry, morphogenesis and developmental biology, and bioactive compounds, the volume examines how cellular and physiological processes shape stress resilience, productivity and health under abiotic and biotic pressures. It also addresses climate-induced stresses and adaptive responses, forest pathology and early disease diagnostics, alongside the role of soil microorganisms in tree health. Chapters further consider ecological, agronomic and socio-economic dimensions, and the place of agroforestry in sustainable land-use.

This book is designed for advanced researchers, practitioners and policymakers working across forestry, tree physiology, forest genetics and biotechnology.
