IPS-V
The 5th edition of the International Poplar Symposium (IPS-V), organised under the umbrella of the IUFRO Working Unit 2.08.04, will be held in Orvieto, Italy, 20-25 September 2010.
The theme of the symposium, “Poplars and willows: from research models to multipurpose trees for a biobased society”, addresses the increasing needs of a low-carbon, bio-based society to mobilize increasing wood and environmental resources, by utilizing the genetic and ecological potentials of poplar and willow trees.
In the last 4 years, since IPS-IV held in Nanjing, China, a wealth of information has been gathered on the links among physiology, molecular genetics and genomics to understand and improve adaptation and yield of Populus as a bioenergy and timber crop and as provider of environmental services.
