Effect of number of annual rings and tree ages on genomic predictive ability for solid wood properties of Norway spruce

Abstract Background Genomic selection (GS) or genomic prediction is considered as a promising approach to accelerate tree breeding and increase genetic gain by shortening breeding cycle, but the efforts to develop routines for operational breeding are so far limited. We investigated the predictive a...
