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 ...
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 ...
Genetic Variation of Juvenile Wood Properties in a Loblolly Pine Diallel Test
(2003)
The reduced rotation age for loblolly pine plantations has resulted in an increased percentage of juvenile wood. Juvenile wood has lower wood density, shorter tracheid length and higher lignin content than mature wood. The ...
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 ...
