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 ... -
USDA Forest Service Forest Health Protection Resistance Screening Center
(2003)The Resistance Screening Center (RSC) is operated by the Forest Health Protection unit of the USDA Forest Service, Southern Region, State and Private Forestry. The Center is located at the Bent Creek Experimental Forest ... -
Use of Site Factor Studies in Determining Environmental Variables That May be Important for Genotype by Environment Interaction
(2003)The environmental variables important in determining genotype x environment interaction with Pinus patula in Southern Africa were investigated using a �site factor study� approach. Several previous such studies with P. ... -
Validation of Predicted Breeding Values for Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii var. elliottii) Using Field Trials Planted in Large Block Plots
(2003)Predicted breeding values were validated using realized gains estimated from large-rectangular-plot field trials from the first generation breeding population of slash pine (Pinus elliottii var. elliottii Engelm.) in the ... -
Variation in Estimation of Genetic Parameters from Small Disconnected Diallel Mating
(2003)Diallel mating designs are widely used in plant improvement programs to estimate additive and dominance genetic variances, and to provide a base population for advanced selection. It is very common to limit the number of ... -
Volume Gains of Rooted Loblolly Pine Clones at Age 10 in Florida and Alabama
(2003)An estimate of the growth potential of clonal lines produced from elite crosses compared to trees grown from seed is needed to justify clonal forestry programs. A series of age 10 loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) rooted ...
