Tree improvement programmes for forest
health – can they keep pace with climate
changes? A. Yanchuk and G. Allard
Alvin Yanchuk is with the Research Branch of the British Columbia Forest Service, Victoria,British Columbia, Canada.
Gillian Allard is Forest Protection Officer in the Forest Management ivision, Forestr!
e"artment, F#O, Rome.
Can tree im"rovement "rogrammes develo" $generic% resistance to offset "otential new "est and
disease "roblems that ma! arise more ra"idl! with climate change&
#s forest geneticists consider "h!siological ada"tations of forest tree "o"ulations under various
climate change scenarios, the! must also ta'e into account li'el! im"acts from new insect "estand disease introductions, as well as increased natural disturbances from native "ests. (hat
lessons can be learned from "ast investments in disease and "est resistance research and genetic
im"rovement, "articularl! with the challenges of climate change scenarios& Can more generic
and general resistance be develo"ed to offset "otential new "est and disease "roblems that willarise within a time frame of less than a decade&
)he world*s main commercial tree im"rovement "rogrammes have focused "rimaril! on
"roductivit! im"rovements in the first few generations of breeding, but the! have sometimesincluded an insect "est and disease resistance com"onent. Man! "est and disease resistantindividuals, and even s"ecific resistance genes, have been found in forest tree s"ecies, and some
are currentl! em"lo!ed in breeding.
)his article summari+es the results of a recent worldwide surve! of research on insect anddisease resistance which suggests that although some targeted resistance "rogrammes have had
substantial im"acts on im"roving the health of "lanted forests, most of the gains have been for
onl! a small number of maor commercial s"ecies and have ta'en decades to develo". )he article
suggests that "ast a""roaches ma! not serve well under ra"id climate change, and also identifiesfive future challenges that could undercut the "otential for tree im"rovement "rogrammes to
im"rove forest health in changing climates.

forest management strategies will be needed to offset ada"tational lags of s"ecies and their
"o"ulations to maintain "roductivit! and forest health. )ree vigour and "roductivit! will be the
first line of defence against insect "ests and diseases.
Furthermore, ranges of insect "ests are e-"ected to e-"and under several climate change
modelling scenarios 0e.g. nun moth, Lymantria monacha1 g!"s! moth, Lymantria dispar 20Vanhanen et al ., 34452. iseases and insect "ests continue to be introduced and to invade or
threaten regions outside their natural distribution ranges 06ovett et al ., 34472. (arming climate isthought to be a maor cause of e"idemic outbrea's of native diseases and "ests that are causing
relativel! new and catastro"hic "roblems1 recent e-am"les include othistroma needle cast

# surve! of the literature to evaluate the effectiveness of tree breeding research for disease and
"est resistance, carried out b! F#O with assistance from the British Columbia Forest Service,
Canada, classified activities according to four levels of breeding "rogramme develo"ment<
• Status = > large breeding "rogrammes that have resulted in o"erational "lanting of
resistant material 0seed/orchard seed or other "ro"agule t!"es21
• Status 3 > large research or breeding "rogrammes that have not !et resulted in o"erational
"lanting1
• Status ? > large research or breeding
"rogrammes that have identified genetic variation in resistance in genetic@"rovenancetrials1
• Status A > studies that have identified genetic variation in resistance in small research
seedling or clonal trials.
#lthough the technical a""roaches that can be a""lied are somewhat "redetermined b!these levels, three technologies were also identified to categori+e the initiatives further<
• traditional "lant breeding methods1
• molecular biolog! a""roaches1
• genetic engineering.
# total of 374 activities on breeding for "est and disease resistance in forest trees were recorded
in the review 0F#O, 344:2. )he list was not intended to ca"ture all "ublications on resistance in a "articular s"ecies, as some resistance "rogrammes 0e.g. that for fusiform resistance in Pinustaeda2 have been re"orted in hundreds of scientific "a"ers. )he intention was rather to re"resent
a sam"le of the literature in each "rogramme area. )he )able summari+es some of the
"rogrammes that have had the largest im"act to date.

breeding "rogrammes, b!countr!
Impact of resistance work in planted forests
En general, the surve! clearl! shows that des"ite a large bod! of "ublished research over more
than 94 !ears, from hundreds of research initiatives or "rogrammes around the world, relativel!few "rogrammes have develo"ed resistant material for o"erational "lanting. Practical im"acts
from resistance breeding "rogrammes have onl! been documented for four to five maor
commercial "est and disease "roblems.
For disease resistance, the two most successful "rogrammes a""ear to be the fusiform rust
resistance im"rovement in Pinus taeda and Pinus elliottii in the southern nited States, and thewhite "ine blister rust resistance "rogrammes in the Enland Hm"ire region of southern California
and the Pacific orthwest of orth #merica. Pinus lambertiana resistance to blister rust inCalifornia and southern Oregon, nited States, is also notable. )he most im"ressive
documentation of success has been for fusiform resistance1 average worth of "lantations
established with fusiform/resistant P. taeda im"roved 7 to A4 "ercent over "lantations establishedwith susce"tible stoc', while im"rovements for P. elliottii ranged from A4 to D4 "ercent 0Brawner
et al.,=DDD2.
ains from the first/generation "rogrammes of non/maor gene resistant stoc' in Pinus strobus
range from ? to 54 "ercent survival 0with one rare e-am"le of maor gene resistance in Pinus
lambertiana and P. monticola inferring =44 "ercent survival in the sim"lest situation IJinloch etal.,=DDDK2. )hese figures ma! be underestimates as the survival of more recentl! "lanted material
ma! be higher1 nevertheless, the results clearl! show that genetic gains are "ossible andim"ortant.
Several "rogrammes 0e.g. chestnut resistance to blight2 seem to be on the verge of having novel
materials read! for use1 however, a long time will be reuired before their ecological or
economic im"acts can be evaluated. othistroma/resistant breeds in Pinus radiata have been

develo"ed, but the "roblem has largel! been addressed through silvicultural "ractices 0Mead,
34492.
En com"arison with disease resistance, "est resistance "rogrammes are less well develo"ed andhave resulted in less material that has reached large/scale reforestation "rogrammes, although
there is substantial wor' in the area 0as shown in the )able2. )he surve! revealed onl! two "rogrammes using traditional "lant breeding methods that could be classified as Status =, one for
s"ruce a"hid 0 Elatobium abietinum2 resistance 08arding,Rouland and (ellendorf, 344?2 inHuro"e and the other for s"ruce terminal weevil 0 Pissodes strobi2 resistance in British Columbia,
Canada 0Jing et al.,=DD52. (or' on transgenic material for resistance to stem/boring and leaf/
eating insects is increasing1 o"erational "lanting of this material is in its infanc! but has beenre"orted with "o"lars in China 0Hwald, 8u and ;ang,34472. (or' on Eucalyptus resistance to a
number of leaf insects is increasing, but to the authors* 'nowledge the resistance has not been
incor"orated in materials being "lanted commerciall!.
Considerable time and resources have been invested to obtain resistant genot!"es, gain
e-"erience in their use and achieve im"acts in im"roving "lantation health. Enitiating anim"rovement "rogramme for a tree s"ecies, even for a few sim"le traits, reuires substantiall!
more !ears than for a cro" s"ecies. (ith a long "rocess involving selection of germ"lasm forfield testing, rearing of test stoc', test establishment and measurements at a""ro"riate ages,
selection of best material and establishment in seed or hedge orchards, it is not sur"rising that the
successful "rogrammes have ta'en one, two or even more decades to identif! and develo"silviculturall! useful genetic resistance.

ecades of research on herbivor! in Betula pubescens 0e.g. 8au'ioa, 344?2 have uncovered a

Transfera.ility of research on wild trees to pedigreed trees in genetic
improvement programmes
Studies carried out on trees in natural settings will not necessaril! assist breeding "rogrammes in
develo"ing more resistant germ"lasm. Much research on insect "est or disease interaction with
host trees in the wild is im"ortant for modelling "ur"oses 0e.g. on s"read rates and im"acts inwild forests2 and is of evolutionar! interest, but it ma! not be "ossible to e-tra"olate the results
to s"ecies or "o"ulations that have been artificiall! migrated under climate change ada"tation

"rogrammes, if available and adeuatel! challenged b! various "ests or diseases, ma! also beable to "rovide the basic information needed for stand or landsca"e im"act models.
)ecreasing resources for traditional genetic improvement of forest trees
En s"ite of the im"ressive "rogress to date in some "rogrammes, it is li'el! that fewer resources
will be available in the future for the stud! of s"ecific host/"est interactions in classical tree
im"rovement "rogrammes. loball!, traditional training in uantitative genetics > a necessar!
s'ill set in tree breeding > has been waning 0Hisen, 344:1 Jnight, 344?1 Morris, Hdmeades andPehu,34472. En addition, man! of the largest and most successful tree breeding "rogrammes are
currentl! struggling because of maor financial and structural changes in the forest industr!
0B!ram, Miller and Rale!,34472. #vailable research resources will need to focus on testing for,develo"ing and using resistances that ma! be able to hel" thwart both current and new, un'nown
challenges. Cross/resistance, i.e. resistance against man! classes of "ests or diseases 0e.g.
#ndrew et al ., 34452, if it can be identified and tested adeuatel!, ma! have the most utilit! in
the future.

information is evolving at a ra"id "ace, and man! "roducts or tools will li'el! be of substantialinterest to breeders. For instance, it ma! become "ossible to narrow down the 'e! elements 0e.g.
families of genes2 o"erative in resistance, such as a com"ound from resin ter"enoid bios!nthesis
and "roduction, al'aloid e-"ressions, traumatic resin "roduction, formation of resin ducts or
"h!sical barriers such as bar' thic'ness or stone cells. 8owever, the largest challenge will be inma'ing the "ro"er lin'ages between mar'ers, gene e-"ression measures and the "henot!"ic
e-"ressions of the trait in large "edigreed forest tree "o"ulations, and then determining how tree
res"onses or traits affect "est or "athogen res"onse.

)ransgenic technolog! can address some s"ecific "est "roblems tem"oraril!, but it still must beconsidered onl! one tool within well/develo"ed breeding "rogrammes. Because trees are "lanted
across landsca"es, and now because of the added com"le-ities that climate change will im"ose,
adeuate field testing over s"ace and time will be needed to ensure that gene e-"ression is stablewithin different genot!"es. 8owever, for short/rotation s"ecies such as "o"lar, it ma! be "ossible
to manage transgenic trees using a""roaches similar to those currentl! being used in agricultural
cro"s.

)he results of the surve! highlight three issues. First, since the $reaction time% for develo"ing
genetic o"tions for insect "est and disease resistance has t!"icall! been in the order of decades,
will this a""roach be useful in a world with ra"idl! changing climates& En the authors* o"inion, "robabl! not. )herefore it ma! be necessar! to develo" strategies that ma! "rovide some $"re/
em"tive% or general resistances.
Second, since there ma! be little or no lead time to 'now which "ests or diseases will "osethreats in the future, are there some better $generic% forms or classes of resistance that could bedevelo"ed in advance against various classes of insects or diseases& Et would be highl! desirable,
if "ossible, to identif! mechanisms of resistance that ma! be more affordable and allow for a
shorter turnaround and develo"ment time than at "resent.
)hird, will the resistance mechanisms currentl! being used be able to "rovide some "rotectionfrom new or related "ests and diseases&
8/9/2019 Tree improvement programmes for forest health.docx
12/14
#lthough a more general t!"e of cross/resistance should not be e-"ected to be a t!"ical feature
of most resistance mechanisms 0Panda and Jhush, =DD91 Rii"i et al.,34492, it ma! now be
im"ortant to see' to understand the degree of variation "resent in currentl! selected elite "arenttrees ma'ing u" the seed "roduction and breeding "o"ulations. # reduction in the number of
genot!"es that researchers should and can afford to wor' with needs to be tem"ered with the
difficult! of accommodating more traits 0Verr!n, 344:2, "articularl! if negative geneticcorrelations are "resent between traits of interest. Moreover, resistance does not alwa!s incur a
"h!siological cost 0e.g. Jing et al.,=DD52, so mechanisms of resistance that are "ositivel!
correlated with growth would also be desirable ones to "ursue.
En summar!, after five decades of research on insect "est and disease resistance in trees,resistance breeding has had significant local im"acts1 however, the successes are largel! for a
few of the main commercial "rogrammes which have had substantial resources and structures in
"lace to deliver the gain.
En the future, funding agencies and researchers ma! need to focus declining resources and
research ca"acit! on s"ecies for which silvicultural o"tions to mitigate losses to insect "ests anddiseases are few. Research should also be focused on genot!"es that are alread! in tree
im"rovement "rogrammes or that could form the basis of a "rogramme.
Better alignment of forest genetics and forest health research "rogrammes will be reuired iftraditional tree im"rovement "rogrammes are to ca"itali+e on "ast investments in insect "est and
disease resistance research and hel" mitigate the "roected negative im"acts of climate change on
forest "roductivit! and health. )his is li'el! to become im"erative with "roections of increased "est and disease ris's in the future.
