Fourth-Year Results from a Clonal Test of Loblolly Pine
(2003)
In November and December 1998, two experimental plantings were established using rooted cuttings from 450 clones of eight unrelated full-sib families of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Clones from four of the families (282 ...
TREEPLAN� - A Genetic Evaluation System for Forest Trees
(2003)
The TREEPLAN� genetic evaluation system is designed specifically for the efficient and accurate prediction of breeding and other genetic values in trees. TREEPLAN� uses the preferred statistical method of best linear ...
Rooting Cuttings of Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra L.)
(2003)
Several techniques have been used experimentally to vegetatively propagate northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.), including: 1) rooting juvenile softwood cuttings in intermittent mist, 2) rooting shoots originating from ...
Age-Five Results from the Cooperative Forest Genetics Research Program Slash Pine Polymix Trials
(2003)
The Cooperative Forest Genetics Research Program (CFGRP) has completed polymix test installation for the second generation of slash pine (White, et al. 1993).The objective of this testing is to evaluate the general combining ...
On the Origin of Fusiform Rust Resistance in Loblolly Pine
(2003)
Studies of geographic variation in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) have shown that seed sources from the western (generally west of the Mississippi River) and the northeastern part of the natural distribution are relatively ...
Genetic Analysis of a Disease Resistance Gene from Loblolly Pine
(2003)
Rapid advances in molecular genetics provide great opportunities for studies of host defense mechanisms. Examination of plant responses to disease at the cellular and molecular level permits both discovery of changes in ...
Cooperative Second-Generation Breeding and Testing of Coastal Douglas-fir in the US Pacific Northwest
(2003)
Forest tree improvement got underway in the Pacific Northwest of the USA in the 1950s. Graft incompatibility became evident by the early 1960s and dampened enthusiasm for grafted clonal orchards for this species A different ...
Time Trend and Genetic Difference of Rust Infection in a Diallel Loblolly Pine Population Across Four Tests
(2003)
Loblolly pines from a six-parent half diallel mating were planted in a randomized complete block field design at four test sites. Fusiform rust infection (gall presence / absence) was recorded annually through age 8. A ...
