Abstract

Extension of land under forest cover for meeting demands of swelling population is some how inhibited in the current scenario of strong competition between different land uses. Biotechnology when accompanied with traditional tree improvement programs can be considered as a possible option to meet growing human demands for forest produce earlier when compared to traditional tree improvement programs alone and also biotechnology open doors for understanding to a vast range of complex biological problems. Forest biotechnology is related with a wide array of modern tools and methodologies covering aspects of genetic engineering, genomics, metabolomics, proteomics, molecular markers, marker assisted selection, marker assisted breeding. In past few years considerable developed has been achieved in this regard. These advanced biotechnological tools creating new vistas for understanding the populations for forest tree species and their genetic structure, identifying factors of biotic and abiotic stress tolerance and link some of the important traits and genetic markers making possible accelerated selection and further breeding programs. These advanced technologies make possible to utilize genetic material not only from the same species but also from other creatures such as viruses, plants and animals etc., to create novel traits for increased resistance and productivity in short time intervals.
