Resumen
Descripción
The overall objective of the FAO work programme on forest biotechnology is to contribute to a global assessment of the discipline’s status and trends. The purpose of this document is to provide a summary of four FAO-sponsored reports on global forest biotechnology research activities and their applications. Individual reports are provided in Appendixes 2.1–2.4. Information compiled in these reports came from questionnaires, systematic searches of CAB Abstracts1 and other scientific databases, In ternet searches of public and private websites, and personal communications. Though no doubt incomplete, the resulting data set of over 2 700 major biotechnology activities (from the last 10 years) and responses to questionnaires provides a comprehensive summary of worldwide activities, particularly those in the public domain.
