OSU Research Makes GREAT TREES February 20, 2021 Forests and ecosystems around the globe are struggling due to many factors, the most volatile of which are pests and a rapidly changing climate. With the loss of forests comes the loss of a large source of industry, employment, and energy production. GREAT TREES, a research consortium based out of Oregon State University, is looking to provide assistance to the global forest industry to help forests survive and thrive. The GREAT in GREAT TREES stands for Genetic Research on Engineering and Advanced Transformation of Trees. “Meaning, how can we learn to efficiently modify (edit, like CRISPR) or insert genes in the important but often very biologically difficult trees [that are] important to the global forest industry,” Steve Strauss, Distinguished Professor of Forest Biotechnology at OSU wrote in an email interview with ....
