Abstract

Biyoteknolojik yöntemler günümüzde pek çok alanda kullanılmaktadır ve bu alanlardan biride orman ağaçlarındaki biyoteknoloji uygulamalarıdır. Orman ağaçlarının hastalıklara ve herbisitlere karşı direnç kazanması, ağaç büyüme hızlarının artırılması ve çevresel streslere (kuraklık, tuzluluk, iklim değişikliği vb.) karşı dirençlerinin geliştirilmesi gibi hayati konularda biyoteknolojik yöntemler sıkça kullanılmaktadır. Ayrıca, odun kalitesinin artırılmasına yönelik lignin içeriklerinin azaltılması ve selüloz miktarının artırılmasıyla ilgili çalışmalarda dikkat çekmektedir. Bu uygulamalarla birlikte, transgenik ağaçların çevreye pozitif ve negatif etkileri tartışılmakta ve bu çalışmalarla ilgili yasal düzenlemeler yapılarak denetim sağlanmaya çalışılmaktadır.

Transgenic Forest Trees

Abstract

Biotechnological methods are used in many areas nowadays and one of these areas is applications of biotechnology in forest trees. Biotechnological methods are used frequently on vital issues such as gaining resistance against diseases and herbicide of forest trees, increasing tree growth rates and development of resistance against environmental stresses (drought, salinity, climate change etc.). Also, for improving the quality of wood that reducing lignin content and increasing the amount of cellulose draws attention. This together with applications, positive and negative effects of transgenic trees to the environment is discussed and it was tried to be provided on the auditing legal regulations concerned with these studies.
