Lignin, a complex heteropolymer of cinnamyl alcohols, is, second to cellulose, the most
abundant biopolymer on Earth. Lignification has played a determining role in the adaptation …

Twelve years have passed since the early outlooks of applying genomic selection (GS) to
forest tree breeding, initially based on deterministic simulations, soon followed by empirical …

Genetic association is a powerful method for dissecting complex adaptive traits due to (i) fine-
scale mapping resulting from historical recombination,(ii) wide coverage of phenotypic and …

A genetic linkage map for radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) has been constructed using
segregation data from a three-generation outbred pedigree. A total of 208 loci were …

Using large numbers of DNA markers to predict genetic merit [genomic selection (GS)] is a
new frontier in plant and animal breeding programs. GS is now routinely used to select …

We have examined patterns of variation of several kinds of molecular markers (isozymes,
RFLPs of ribosomal DNA and anonymous low-copy number DNA, RAPDs and …

Marker-assisted selection holds promise for highly influencing tree breeding, especially for
wood traits, by considerably reducing breeding cycles and increasing selection accuracy. In …

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping of forest productivity traits was performed using an open
pollinated half-sib family of Eucalyptus grandis. For volume growth, a sequential QTL …
