Breeding and genetics of forest trees
Fröplantager, vänder sig huvudsakligen till svenska fröplantageforskare
och praktiker.
"Familjeskogsbruk" med
vegetativ förökning
Forskarskolan genetik och förädling har nu nått skördetiden. Jon Hallander var först den 3 april vid skogsgenetik i Umeå och är nu forskningsingenjör en tid. Tvåa blev Mats Berlin. Mats har omedelbart efter examen absorberats i Skogforsks organisation. Och trea David Hall med: Tracing Selection and Adaptation along an Environmental Gradient in Populus tremula. March 25: Henrik Hallingbäck plans to defend his doctoral thesis: "Breeding for Improved Grain Angle Patterns in Norway spruce and Scots pine." Probably there will come still more thesis from the research school before summer! Seems like the main peak!
NordGen Skog utlyser stipendier för att utveckla kunskapen inom frö- och plantproduktion, föryngringsmetoder och skogsträdsförädling. Bidraget, på högst 15 000 NOK, kan användas av exempelvis studenter, personal vid plantskolor eller övriga intressenter för att bekosta resor och logi i samband med kunskapsutbyte inom Norden. Ansökan ska vara NordGen tillhanda före den 15 mars, mer information hittar du på http://www.nordgen.org/index.php/en/content/view/full/1246
Future of Forest Genetics at SLU after me? Forest Genetics at SLU is currently weaker on the senior level than at any time since 1948. A process to replace me as professor is going on since late 2007, but since Oct 1st there is no acting professor of forest genetics in Sweden. Umeå as a place is however strong and vital in forest genetics with a number of professor-competent scientists with groups around them; Bengt Andersson at Skogforsk; Xiao-Ru Wang and Per Ingvarsson at Umeå University...
In connection with my retirement. I retired 090930. I got the best possible retirement present a professor can dream about! That is to successfully mentor and collaborate with students resulting in good doctoral research. My student Finnvid Prescher will get the International Union of Forest Research "Outstanding Doctoral Research Award" at its world congress in Seoul 2010. At the word conferences 2005 and 2000 my students also got "Outstanding Doctoral Research Award!". It seems I have had the most gifted Forest Genetics students in the World for the past fifteen years! It also seems that the path of research I chosen has been the right in the opinion of the international research community. After this success I probably keep a closer link with forest genetics 2010 than I planned for in the autumn.
I celebrated my retirement by planting Giant Sequoia in the Taurus mountains in Turkey with my extended family on the retirement day and 67 birthday, it went quiet well.
The Swedish Forest Sector prepared a surprise for me 091029, the inauguration of "Dag Lindgren's lektionssal", a demonstration site in the Forest where forest tree breeding is visualized on an area where demonstration materials of pine is planted. Jag rekommenderar platsen för besökare, som är intresserade av skogsträdsförädling (30 km NV Umeå)!

Efforts to get Forest GMO trials established in Sweden has been revived, so I place my GMO-site here including the new suggestion (some of the suggestions in Swedish)
Links to meetings Dag Lindgren participated in and offer some information about: Nordic cooperation China02 (Eucalypts), Iceland 03, Charleston 04, Komi 05 (Breeding Strategies), Antalya 06 (Low input Breeding), Poland 07 (Norway spruce), Umeå 07 (Seed orchards), Madrid 2008,(adaptation) Finland 2008 (Vegetative propagation), Hann Munden 2009 (zone delineation), Korea 2009 (Seed orchards), Korea 2010 (IUFRO World Congress)

Jag tänkte en del över frötäkt och så småningom ledde detta till att frötäkt är tillåtet nästan överallt i Sverige! Frötäkt - bakgrund och tankar (Dag Lindgren);
Jag skriver på ett dokument om genetisk variation. Någon kanske har en hjälpsam kommentar?

En publiceringsanalys av internationell publicering om tall
It is likely that I maintain this web and my email some time ahead and will not be completely invisible before end 2010. Earlier I brought some news here of public interest, from now on I will focus on what is directly interesting for me, but some of it may still be interesting for others as well. Jag har trappat ned till halv arbetsinsats från början av juni 2009 (tagit ut sparad semester), ytterligare nedtrappning kommer april 2010 men under en kvartstid blir det nog knappast före hösten 2010, eftersom jag nu tänker delta i världskongressen i Seoul 2010. Jag skall snart sluta att komma med notiser om utveckling vid institution och forskarskola, vad som står kan vara inaktuellt.

Comments: IT is dynamic, rules, program, webmasters ideas,
security constraints, links, administrative factors, and my own ideas are not
