La génomique au service de la lutte contre la tordeuse des bourgeons de l’épinette

This publication reports on various forest genomics research projects that seek to expand our knowledge of specific spruce budworm (SBW) genes.

Canadian Forest Service researchers targeted genes that would allow SBW to increase its winter tolerance as well as other genes that are important for SBW growth. Knowledge of these genes is relevant for developing products that inhibit their expression in order to control the triggering and spread of outbreaks.

Branching Out is a series of plain language fact sheets describing Laurentian Forestry Centre research projects.
