Quantitative Genetics and Genomics Converge to Accelerate Forest Tree Breeding

Quantitative Genetics and Genomics Converge to Accelerate Forest Tree Breeding

Forest tree breeding has been successful at delivering genetically improved material for multiple traits based on recurrent cycles of selection, mating, and testing. However, long breeding cycles, late flowering, variable juvenile-mature correlations, emerging pests and diseases, climate, and market...
