21世纪，生物技术将给木材工业带来新的发展

木材是人民生活及国家建设中必需材料，其需要量极大，但树木生长期长，形成供需矛盾尖锐。新世纪中可应用生物技术中基因重组、细胞融合、固定化酶组织等方法，再结合当前计算机、生物化学、电子技术学等学科渗入到木材工业后，必将使树木生长期缩短，增加木材资源。随保护木材措施增加、木材使用寿命的延长，并且在木材加工中工艺不断改进，增加产品，提高木材综合利用率，从而促进木材工业的发展。

New Development of Wood Industry Led by Biological Technology in 21 st Century

Wood is necessary for living people and national construction with large demand. But tree is featured by long growth growing period, thus demand exceeding supply. Tree growing period would be shortened to increase wood resources by application of gene recombination and cytomixis of biological technologies, and by integration of computer, biochemical and electronic technologies. Along with protective control on wood, prolongation of wood service life, improvement of wood processing technology, comprehensive utilization may be increased thus promoting development of wood industry.
