The use of vegetative propagation in forestry has a long history. In this chapter of special
issue, the genetic gain from clonal forestry relative to family forestry is reviewed. Both …

Nine full-sib families were generated using a factorial mating design consisting of three
female and three male loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) parents. Full-sib seedlings and clones …

对两片包括18 个和17 个无性系试验林历年树高和胸径作了测量, 分析了树高和胸径历年位次,
表型和遗传相关, 遗传力, 遗传和环境方差随年龄增高的时间趋势, 历年树高和胸径与最后一年 …

Background The genomic architecture of adaptive traits remains poorly understood in non-
model plants. Various approaches can be used to bridge this gap, including the mapping of …

Genetic variances are important parameters and have a great impact on the determination of
optimal breeding strategies of tree species. A large clonal testing program was conducted to …

Key message There is considerable genetic gain of tree volume from clonal deployment in
Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) and clonal deployment will have at least 50 …

Different methods for predicting clonal values were explored for diameter growth (diameter
at breast height (DBH)) in a radiata pine clonal forestry program:(1) clones were analyzed …

Genetic variance includes both additive and non-additive components, and the latter can be
partitioned into dominance and epistatic variance. Additive genetic variance has been the …

Key message Early selection in tree breeding requires a credible age-age correlation.
Modelling height growth in provenance and progeny trials, we can predict age-age …

Predicted genetic gains of polymix, cloned polymix, full-sib and cloned full-sib testing and
selection options for a breeding population were estimated for Pinus taeda L. Heritabilities …
