The Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria (FRIN) conducts research in the areas of tree improvement and genetic resources. Tree improvement research focuses on developing new varieties of trees that are more productive, disease-resistant, and adaptable to different environmental conditions. Genetic resources research involves studying the genetic makeup of different tree species and populations, and identifying key genetic traits that can be used to improve tree breeding programs. Together, these research themes aim to improve the sustainability and productivity of Nigeria’s forest resources.
