Research Groups

Provenance research and tree breeding

We focus on provenance research, forest tree breeding, and the conservation of genetic resources to promote a climate-resilient, productive, and sustainable forestry.

Pathogen Resistance Research

We analyse the structure and function of genes and genomes, develop molecular markers and study potentials and risks of biotechnology.

Ecological Genetics

We identify species and provenance in wood and wood products, research the genetic diversity within forests and study the ecology and biodiversity of forest ecosystems.
