Abstract Traditional breeding has been widely used in tree improvement. However, this technology is inefficient because of long and complex life cycle that is not amenable to strict control by man. Fortunately, the development of genetic engineering is offering new approach for tree breeding through the introduction of foreign genes. During the last two decades, tree genetic engineering has been progressing at a steady pace in the forest trees. Transgenic trees carrying various different transgenes have been produced, and are undergoing confined field trials in the world. Forest transgenic research was launched earlier in developed countries, including herbicide resistance, insect resistance, and lignin reduction in several forest tree species. The stability and security of transgene expression need to be addressed in the long-lived forest trees. This paper progress on tree transgenic research in recent years was reviewed comprehensively, especially about planting areas, target traits, genetic modification and field trials. It was provided with detailed and valuable data for researchers in this field and government. More importantly, it will be proposed to develop domestic tree genetic engineering.
