As the challenges posed by climate change and environmental stress intensify, there is an urgent need for advanced strategies to enhance the resilience of trees. This study comprehensively explores the latest developments in gene identification and their transformative applications in forestry science. The research traces the evolution of gene identification technologies from traditional methods to cutting-edge techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 and multi-omics integration, which have revolutionized our understanding of tree stress resistance. Case studies highlight the successful identification and application of stress-resistance genes, while critically assessing the environmental and ecological impacts of transgenic trees. Additionally, the study discusses the importance of collaboration and interdisciplinary research efforts in advancing tree genomics and outlines strategic directions for future research. This study emphasizes the potential of genetic technologies to contribute to sustainable forestry and ecosystem conservation in the face of global environmental challenges.
