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 ... -
Performance Effects of Outside Pollen on Seed Orchards In and Out of the Genetic Source Area
(2003)Contamination by outside pollen sources is recognized as a serious problem that reduces the genetic gain obtained from open-pollinated seed orchards. A mitigating tactic is to locate an orchard outside the source area into ... -
Performance of Nuttall Oak (Quercus texana Buckl.) Provenances in the Western Gulf Region
(2003)Three series of three tests each of Nuttall oak (Quercus texana Buckl. formally Q. nuttallii Palmer) were established by the Western Gulf Forest Tree Improvement Program at three locations: Desha and Lonoke Counties in ... -
Pioneering Tree Improvement in Oklahoma
(2003)The pioneering tree improvement work in Oklahoma started in 1965 when Clayton Posey moved from Auburn University to Oklahoma State University. Clayton was hired by Glen Durrell (Department Head) to fill a teaching/research ... -
Progress with American Chestnut Somatic Embryogenesis
(2003)American chestnut (Castanea dentata), once the dominant forest species of the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States, was devastated during the early twentieth century by the introduction of the chestnut blight ... -

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 ... -
Slash and Loblolly Pine Productivity on Reclaimed Titanium Mined Lands in Northeast Florida
(2003)Titanium mining often occurs on forestlands that previously supported productive pine plantations. The productivity of reclaimed mined lands is uncertain, based on observations that tree height on reclaimed lands is less, ... -
Third-Cycle Breeding Strategy for Slash Pine by the Cooperative Forest Genetics Research Program
(2003)The Cooperative Forest Genetics Research Program (CFGRP) third-cycle slash pine tree improvement program will span 11 years (2003-2013), involving a breeding population of 360 third-cycle selections and 20 full-sib (FS) ... -
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 ... -
Top Grafting Longleaf x Slash Pine F1 Hybrids on Mature Longleaf and Slash Pine Interstocks
(2003)Top grafting is used to accelerate the breeding cycle of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L). Scions, collected from seedlings as young as 1 year from seed, are grafted onto mature interstocks of the same or a related species. ... -
Transgenic Loblolly Pine Trees from Diverse Elite Families
(2003)Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) has been the focus of genetic improvement for nearly 100 years because of the value of this species to the forestry industry. The application of gene transfer technology to loblolly pine ... -
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. ...
