GENFORED started as the Spanish network of forest genetic trials but currently it accepts and manages data  from any country. It is coordinated by the Forest Research Centre of INIA and Centro de Investigación y Tecnología Agroalimentaria of Aragón (CITA). It integrates provenance, progeny and clonal trials of the main Iberian species (Mediterranean pines, evergreen oaks, Fagus and Populus). These trials are currentlyowned or managed by different institutions from the government of the country or regional bodies: (INIA, CITA, SERIDA, MAGRAMA and the forest services of several spanish autonomous communities). .

Aims and scope

The primary purposes of GENFORED are (1) to provide a permanent site for the safe storage of data (database and global repository) obtained from genetic trials of forest species, (2) to encourage data sharing among institutions to multiply its value and fostering dissemination of results and (3) to facilitate information exchange and the implementation of common validated protocols for the installation and measurement of forest genetic trials. 

Metadata about trials and tested materials are available in the Trials and Tested Materials page 

Results consisting on basic statistics (averages, standard deviations, etc) can be freely accessed in the Data Server page (www.genfored.es) . Raw data must be asked for by email to genfored@cita-aragon.es.
