The breeding of forest trees is only a few decades old, and is a much more complicated,
longer, and expensive endeavor than the breeding of agricultural crops. One breeding cycle …

Climate change, large monocultures of disease-susceptible cultivars, overuse of pesticides,
and the emergence of new pathogens or pathogenic strains causing economic losses are all …

Genomic Selection (GS) is a method in plant breeding to predict the genetic value of
untested lines based on genome-wide marker data. The method has been widely explored …

Quantitative genetic theory provides a means of estimating the evolutionary potential of
natural populations. However, this approach was previously only feasible in systems where …

We report a genomic selection (GS) study of growth and wood quality traits in an outbred F 2
hybrid Eucalyptus population (n= 768) using high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism …

Genomic selection (GS) has a large potential for improving the prediction accuracy of
breeding values and significantly reducing the length of breeding cycles. In this context, the …

As tree species vary extensively in genome size, complexity, and resource development,
reduced representation methods have been increasingly employed for the generation of …

Phenotyping is the accurate and precise physical description of organisms. Accurate and
quantitative phenotyping underpins the delivery of benefits from genetic improvement …

Abstract Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (GBLUP) in tree breeding typically only
uses information from genotyped trees. However, information from phenotyped but non …

Non-additive genetic effects can be effectively exploited in control-pollinated families with
the availability of genome-wide markers. We used 41,304 SNP markers and compared …
