Guest Lecture by Dr Jarkko Salojärvi on the Genomic Drivers of Plant Diversity

On 2 October 2025, Dr Jarkko Salojärvi (Nanyang Technological University; University of Helsinki Centre of Excellence in Tree Biology) delivered a guest lecture at the Institute of Bioengineering, University of Tartu, as part of the TreeBioTEC project activities.
The lecture explored how large-scale genome sequencing and computational analyses can reveal evolutionary drivers of plant diversity and functional adaptation in forest communities.
The event supported the dissemination of high-level plant genomics research and fostered academic exchange between TreeBioTEC and international experts.
