Transgenic plants play an important role in plant productivity and in a variety of biotic and abiotic stresses including drought, low/high temperatures, high salinity, and oxidative stress. Changes in gene expression patterns ultimately influence biochemical, cellular, developmental, and physiological activities. Transgenic pine is critical in improving wood production and in forest biotechnology. In this chapter, we overview the transgenic pine and its application in forest biotechnology, in forest industry, and in environmental improvement with emphasis on the history, origin, and distribution of Loblolly pine (
Pinus taeda
L.), Scots pine (
Pinus sylvestris
L.), and Monterey pine (
Pinus radiata
D. Don).
