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. ... -
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 ...
