Genetic architecture of terpene chemistry and growth traits and the impact of inbreeding on these traits in western redcedar (Thuja plicata)

Abstract Western redcedar (WRC; Thuja plicata) is a conifer of the Pacific Northwest of North America prized for its durable and rot‐resistant wood. WRC has naturally low outcrossing rates and readily self‐fertilizes in nature. Challenges faced in WRC breeding and propagation involve selecting trees...
