The 1.5 Gbp genome of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) has been sequenced. The released high-quality draft genome provides an invaluable resource for studies of the genomic patterns of divergence between oak species and determination of the genetic basis and mechanisms of reproductive isolation. It will also promote downstream genetic applications and catalyze future studies dealing with fundamental questions relating to forest tree adaptation.

Three young foresters receive the thesis prize from the Lorraine Region
Sylvain Caurla, Noemie Goutal-Pousse and Tony Franceschini received prizes for their thesis work in 2012. Forest engineering graduates of AgroParisTech, they worked within three research units at the INRA center in Nancy, Lorraine . The awards were presented at a ceremony held in Metz on November 7th.
