GM trees with increased resistance to herbivores: trait efficiency and their potential to promote tree growth
Climate change, as well as a more intensive forestry, is expected to increase the risk of damage by pests and pathogens on trees, which can already be a severe problem in tree plantations. Recent development of biotechnology theoretically allows for resistance enhancement that could help reduce thes...
