This was a hybrid meeting with options for attendees to participate virtually or in person. Due to tremendous support from the conference organizers and sponsors, we are pleased to offer “FREE” registration for international participants attending the conference virtually. For attendees in China, we strongly encourage everyone to join the conference in person and enjoy the social interactions. If the COVID pandemic requires that we move the conference to online-only, registration fees will be refunded in full. The topics of this conference include forest adaptation to climate change, tree genomes and epigenomes, wood biology and uses, genomic variation in breeding and genetic studies, and regulations and biosafety of GMOs.
