About us

Forest Bio-Research Center (FBRC) was established as an institute coordinating research and breeding activities in the field of forest biotechnology in April 2007.
FBRC has conducted studies to develop the techniques necessary for shortening breeding periods of forest trees by using biotechnologies.

Genetic engineering research for pollen free varieties development

Genetic engineering technique has a potential in improving a particular trait efficiently in a short period.
FBRC has conducted studies to develop new pollen free varieties of Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar) with superior growth and wood quality by genetic engineering technique.
