Abstract
Canadian government scientists are testing the first GM spruce (Picea) engineered to be pest-resistant, to find out what happens to the implanted genes as the tree grows. This work is part of studies leading to GM varieties that will not interbreed with wild trees. Alberta-Pacific Forest Industries Inc. (Alberta, Canada) is running a field test with hybrid poplars (Populus) that are resistant to herbicides.
