- W2146233058 abstract "ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the potential impact of the introduction and development of biotechnologyon planted forests. It includes a description of some recent innovations in forestry including the useof traditional breeding, and also more recent innovations involving biotechnology, including thedevelopment of clonal propagation and the use of modern molecular biology techniques. In addi-tion to describing these innovations, the paper undertakes an assessment of their probable impact onfuture production of the forest industry, on the global timber supply, and on future markets for tim-ber and wood products. The paper offers a description of recent innovations in tree breeding and biotechnology, includ-ing a discussion of innovations in agriculture that have promise for forestry. This is followed by adiscussion of the current role of biotechnology in forestry and an assessment of the various types ofbiotechnological innovations that could be forthcoming in the next decade and beyond. Addition-ally, the paper examines the likely effects of biotechnology on the economics of forestry. An esti-mate is provided for the potential cost savings and/or value increases expected from the variousinnovations. Using these estimates, a quantitative assessment is made of global potential economicreturns to the most immediate and major innovation, the herbicide tolerant trait. Additionally, esti-mates are made of the potential impact of cost savings realized from this type of biotechnology onfuture timber supplies in the global timber market.Key Words : biotechnology, plantation forests, genetic modification, genetic research,economic benefits, transgenic, GMOJEL Classification Numbers: Q21, Q23, Q16, O32, L73Acknowledgments: The author acknowledges the assistance of a number of individuals, most ofwhom are specialists in the area of biotechnology.
