Résumé :
|
The DYGEN conference was intended to fill the gap between basic research conducted through R&D research proposals in the area of population, evolutionary and ecological genetics, and the implementation of their results in conservation actions. The first objective of the DYGEN conference was to share and disseminate major achievements obtained in the frame of the R&D projects. The conference focused on the main genetic, ecological and anthropic processes modifying diversity in forest ecosystems. An overview of the state of the art was provided by 16 invited speakers. The second objective was to highlight the applicability of the results in conservation issues. Conservation actions and measures were considered for three categories of forest species: endangered and disseminated, widespread and intensively cultivated species. The third objective was to identify gaps and future research needs in the field of "Population and Conservation Genetics in European Forest Trees". The DYGEN conference was a joint initiative of the coordinators of the EU-supported projects and chairs of the EUFORGEN networks. Results of EU-supported projects were presented together with the activities of the EUFORGEN networks. These data and results were confronted to other approaches and investigations conducted in other parts of the world (Asia, Africa, America), and also with other organisms. The conference was introduced by officials of the European Commission, who highlighted the support given during the fourth and the fifth framework and the perspectives within the sixth framework programme.
