SUMMARY:Biotechnology for Forest Tree Improvement: Applications in the RAIZ Breeding Program
DESCRIPTION:Apply here\n					\n					\n								\n				\n									Application deadline: 22 November 2026 								\n				\n									This course explores how biotechnology and emerging technologies can help address the nutritional and environmental challenges facing food systems. With a focus on alterThis lecture presents the main applications of biotechnology in the genetic improvement of eucalyptus developed by RAIZ. We will explore tools like molecular genetics\, clonal propagation\, genomic selection\, and new genetic editing techniques\, highlighting their contribution to increasing forest productivity\, conserving genetic diversity\, and developing more resilient and sustainable forests.native proteins\, it introduces insect proteins\, microbial production\, cultivated meat and 3D food printing. Participants will examine the scientific principles behind these approaches and critically discuss their potential\, limitations and implications for food safety and consumer acceptance.
