Variation in <i>Platycladus orientalis</i> (Cupressaceae) Reproductive Output and Its Effect on Seed Orchard Crops’ Genetic Diversity

Variation in <i>Platycladus orientalis</i> (Cupressaceae) Reproductive Output and Its Effect on Seed Orchard Crops’ Genetic Diversity

The genetic efficiency of seed orchards is crucial for determining seed crops’ genetic gain and diversity. <i>Platycladus orientalis</i> is a conifer tree of important ecological value in China. Here, we assessed the reproductive output (fertility) variation for 166 clones in a first-gen...
