It is useful to public/private organisations as well as to private and public research bodies and universities worldwide since it reports on the global status of GMT research and policy. A high number of genetically modified trees (GMTs) with altered or novel characteristics have been produced in the last 15 years. However, their very low public acceptance is a basic problem in their commercialization. Breeders anticipate economic and ecological benefits, like reduced product costs and less pressure on native forests, while opponents fear risks, such as unintended spread of GMTs. But what is true? To answer this question, the COST Action FP0905 focused on key aspects related to GMTs: (a) biological characterization; (b) assessment of possible environmental impacts; (c) socio-economic implications and public acceptance/concerns; (d) providing science-based information to communicate with the public.Forestry Sciences,0924-5480 ;82TreesPlant breedingForestry managementEnvironmental monitoringEnvironmental sociologyTree Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22024Plant Breeding/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060Forestry Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22016Monitoring/Environmental Analysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U1400XEnvironmental Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22160Trees.Plant breeding.Forestry management.Environmental monitoring.Environmental sociology.Tree Biology.Plant Breeding/Biotechnology.Forestry Management.Monitoring/Environmental Analysis.Environmental Sociology.634.956Vettori Cristinaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGallardo Fernandoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHäggman Helyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKazana Vassilikiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMigliacci Fabioedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtPilate Gillesedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFladung Matthiasedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910253874303321Biosafety of Forest Transgenic Trees2544070UNINA
