As part of the Global Biotechnology Forum, organised by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and the Government of Chile, the Forestry Biotechnology Workshop was held on 3-5 March 2004 in Concepcíon, Chile. Proceedings of the workshop, edited by R. Kellison, S. McCord and K.M.A. Gartland, are now available. Apart from a keynote address on the future of forest biotechnology, papers were presented on three main topics - propagation and cloning; molecular markers and proteomics; and GMOs in forestry.
