This book is the first comprehensive volume on conifers detailing their genomes, variations, and evolution. The book begins with general information about conifers such as taxonomy, geography, reproduction, life history, and social and economic importance. Then topics discussed include the full genome sequence, complex traits, phenotypic and genetic variations, landscape genomics, and forest health and conservation. This book also synthesizes the research included to provide a bigger picture and suggest an evolutionary trajectory. As a large plant family, conifers are an important part of economic botany. The group includes the pines, spruces, firs, larches, yews, junipers, cedars, cypresses, and sequoias. Of the phylum Coniferophyta, conifers typically bear cones and evergreen leaves. Recently, there has been much data available in conifer genomics with the publication of several crop and non-crop genome sequences. In addition to their economic importance, conifers are an important habitat for humans and animals, especially in developing parts of the world. The application of genomics for improving the productivity of conifer crops holds great promise to help provide resources for the most needy in the world.

Excerpt from Proceedings of the 22nd Southern Forest Tree Improvement Conference: June 14-17, 1993, Atlanta, Georgia Abstract. - Development of tree improvement programs in the future will be influenced by national and international resource needs, current trends, and public values. Increased population pressures and public concerns for protecting the environment will be the major driving forces that set program direction. In general, tree improvement programs and research will be broadened to include new aspects of genetic resource management. The management and research programs will emphasize new technologies with public perceptions in mind. A talented, professional, diverse workforce, with a passion for solving problems, serving people, producing resources, and caring for the environment will be needed to meet the challenges of the future.
