The Role of Bioinformatics in Genetic Improvement and Tree Breeding for Sustainable Forestry

Abstract

Biological approach helps enhance tree breeding and genetic improvement through innovative analytical methods which sustain forest practices and increase their resistance rates. The application of genomic sequencing methods along with genetic editing techniques and genomic selection under bioinformatics control allows development of improved tree species with enhanced resistant features and growth dynamics and environmental tolerance. The new technologies play an essential role in solving difficulties which stem from climate change and biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. Bioinformatics allows forest managers to preserve tree genetic resources while creating sustainable climate-friendly forest practice methods. The review presents crucial uses of bioinformatics for forestry and outlines its developmental issues together with future possibility horizons while demonstrating worldwide exemplary cases. Bioinformatics technology will continue advancing tree breeding operations through precise breeding methods combined with improvements in forest resistance and global sustainable forest management and climate change reduction initiatives.
