Workshop on the Genetics of Tree-Parasite Interactions

Registration and abstract submission are open

Organisers: National Institute for Agronomic Research (INRA) Research Unit on Forest Breeding, Genetics and Physiology (UR 0588 AGPF), Orléans University and the French Ministry of Agriculture

This workshop will build upon the discussions and presentations from the 2011 workshop, with special focus on the recent invasions of non-native pests and pathogens that are causing considerable damage and mortality in native and managed forests worldwide.

Main topics:

• Resistance / tolerance and virulence / aggressiveness mechanisms
• Breeding and management strategies for durable resistance in a changing environment
• Host-parasite co-evolution
• Novel host-parasite interactions due to emerging or non-native pests and pathogens
• Population genetics of pests, pathogens and vectors
• New frontiers in tree-parasite interactions : from genes to landscapes and communities
