About The Book

Forest Trees by Hiroshi Ueda offers a comprehensive, up-to-date exploration of the characterization, biological understanding, and genetic improvement of forest trees. Covering approximately 30% of the Earth’s land surface, forest trees play a pivotal role in providing renewable resources such as fuel, wood, timber, fruits, leaves, and medicinal products. They also offer significant environmental benefits, including carbon sequestration, watershed protection, and providing habitats for one-third of terrestrial species.

Despite their importance, the genetic analysis and breeding of trees have historically lagged behind that of crop plants. This book addresses that gap, providing systematic insights into the conservation, sustainable improvement, and pragmatic utilization of forest trees through biotechnological and molecular tools.

Key Features:

• In-depth discussion on the genetic analysis and biotechnological improvement of forest trees.

• Focus on the sustainable conservation and pragmatic utilization of forest resources.

• Highlights the crucial role of trees in carbon sequestration and environmental protection.

• Comprehensive content, including 38 black & white illustrations and 3 color images to aid understanding.

This essential text is perfect for those involved in forest conservation, biotechnology, and molecular genetics related to forestry.
