Andrew Sims: Decoding Forest Genetics

A tree's biology can have a huge impact on its resilience to pathogens and pests, growth, reproduction, and profitability. But streamlining genetics to maximize capacity in one of these ideas is difficult as there is still much to learn in the intricacies of many tree's genetic codes. Join Dr. Andrew Sims, a research assistant professor in forest genetics and codirector for the Cooperative Forest Genetics Research Program (CFGRP) at UF, in the discussing the complicated practices of studying tree genetics.
