Abstract
The number of biotechnology and genomics studies related to forest trees has increased rapidly in recent years. Biotechnological applications of tissue culture and clonal propagation, genetic markers, gene transfer technologies and genomic technologies are widely used. Development of effective and practical techniques in the field of biotechnology and the completion of some forest tree species genome sequences are important factors in this rapid development process. These techniques and studies have made great contributions to projects of breeding of forest trees. As a result of these studies, such as found new gene regions, gene transfers, the creation of genetic maps, clonal propagation and improving the quality of wood in forest trees were carried out. Especially, genes which include growth and wood properties of forest trees are attracting more interest. Source of about 45,000 genes by sequencing of genome of poplar tree (Populus trichocarpa) has provided a major contribution to genomic research. Thus, new gene discovery, QTL analysis, genetic modifications and EST sequencing is easy. Moreover, these studies also help to develop a special tree species resistant to particular environmental conditions. In this review, application areas of biotechnology and genetic-based technologies in forest trees, objectives of these technologies and contributions of sustainable forestry practices were assessed.
