Planning Grant: Industry/University Cooperative Research Center For Tree Genetic Engineering @ Oregon State University
ABSTRACT EEC-9816084 Strauss This award to the Oregon State University is to study the feasibility of establishing an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Tree Genetic Engineering. The proposed center will conduct research on the adaptation of existing genetic technologies, and will investigate areas of basic science, of direct relevance to forest industries. The initial portfolio of research projects, and the structure and organization of the proposed center will be discussed at an industry/university workshop to be held at the end of the grant period.

Industry/University Cooperative Research Center: Tree Genetic Engineering Research Cooperative @ Oregon State University
ABSTRACT
EEC-9980423
STRAUSS
Forests are major sources for producing structural, fiber, chemical and energy products. In addition, their value for carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat and maintenance of air and water will grow substantially in the future. However, because of their long life cycle and delayed production, the productivity of industrial forest products is considerably slowed. There is an urgent need for intensely managed short-rotation tree plantations. Genetic technology can improve forest productivity and therefore will have major national and international economic impact.
The I/UCRC's research agenda will address 1.) Flowering control, 2.) Transformation and 3.) Verification resistance.

Center For Tree Genetics: Formation of a Joint Center Between Purdue University and Oregon State University
This action joins the Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center (HTIRC) with an existing National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC), the Tree Genetic Engineering Research Cooperative (TGERC) at Oregon State University. Both centers share the same goal: the study of technologies to genetically improve trees for use in intensively managed tree plantations. The objectives, structure, and policies of TGERC are well established, and similar to those of the HTIRC.
HTIRC is vertically integrated with molecular and classical geneticists, tree physiologists, silviculturalists, and nursery and regeneration specialists. The strength is the ability to perform basic, applies, and developmental research so the genetic knowledge that is created will be delivered to industrial and private landowners in value-added products rather than knowledge that benefits only the scientific community.

Collaborative Research: Center For Advanced Forestry Systems
The expanded Industry/University Cooperative Research center for Advanced Forestry Systems will link four of the top forestry research programs in the US, and will expand the current Center for Tree Genetics to build on the strengths of the research programs to create a multi-university, interdisciplinary I/UCRC that will solve industry-wide problems through multi-faceted approaches. Researchers will approach questions on multiple scales, including the molecular, cellular, individual-tree, stand, and ecosystem.
The research conducted by the center will increase the competitiveness of forest products industries and forest landowners by solving problems on multiple temporal and spatial scales and determining fundamental solutions that transcend traditional species, regional, and disciplinary boundaries.
