LS research activities in Arborea and Treenomix already contributed through economic analyses of the expected benefits relating to wood yield and insect resistance, and examined the political context and issues related to acceptance and perception. The GE. Develop a supply chain simulation/optimization tool for genetically selected plantations for forest and community managers. Survey the challenges/feasibility of potential end-users of genetic marker systems and improved varieties. Design of the GE.

Growth and Wood Quality Breeding Tools. Identify suites of diagnostic markers for variation in wood, growth and adaptation in juvenile and mature trees of white spruce, aiming to explain a useful part of the phenotypic variation for application in tree breeding. Support findings of marker-trait associations with functional and expression data. Evaluate the potential for using CNVs or PAVs as a source of sequence polymorphisms relevant for marker development.

In Canada, spruce trees are a prime target to generate both environmental and economic benefits from genomics. They account for 58% of the 650 million tree seedlings planted each year, covering 2,164 km. The SMarTForests project brings together genome scientists, forest geneticists, tree biologists and end users from Arborea. LS research) delivered an unprecedented understanding of the economic, socio-economic and legal issues of implementing MAS for forestry in Canada. Our research activities are:.

Biomarkers and Genetic Markers for Insects Resistance. This activity built on long-term investments to develop resistant spruce trees through selection and breeding, and on previous Genome Canada investments to identify mechanisms of spruce resistance to insects. The focus of this activity was on spruce resistance against weevils (. Which has been developed as the most advanced model for insect resistance breeding in conifers. The white pine weevil (.

Mission et objectifs du projet. Le projet SMarTForests sappuie sur une décennie de recherches et de découvertes en génomique des épinettes effectuées dans le cadre de projets majeurs : Arborea. Dirigé par lUniversité Laval et Treenomix. Le projet a commencé le 1er juillet 2011 et terminé le 30 juin 2015. SMarTForests a trois grands objectifs. 1 Développer des systèmes de marqueurs moléculaires. 2 Séquencer le génome de lépinette blanche ( accès aux données des séquences publiques.
