This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tree Improvement Research at the Lake City, Florida, Research Center: A Project Analysis Forest genetics at the Lake City, Florida, Research Center is financed jointly by the Florida Board of Forestry and the U. 8. Forest Service. Another cooperative agreement with the University of Florida's School of Forestry provides for the exchange of technical information on the project and joint use of facilities. Initially this research program was concentrated on the inheritance of gum production, a field in which the basic relationships have now been determined and one in which this project will continue to provide leader ship. Turpentining, however, no longer is the major end product of slash and longleaf pine in this region. Naval stores now is being integrated with other forest use. Therefore, the improvement of growth rate, quality, and resistance to disease and insects must also be considered. It has already been determined that gum yield is correlated with growth rate. Thus, primary emphasis is being given now to improvement of growth and quality, with gum yield as a secondary objective. The Lake City Tree Improvement Project complements correlated research in other southern research centers, i. E. The fundamental south wide studies at the Southern Institute of Forest Genetics, Gulfport, Mississippi; the applied aspects of tree selection and breeding being undertaken cooperatively by the State of Georgia and the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station at Macon and the University of Georgia School of Forestry at Athens, Georgia; the educational and research program in Forest Genetics at the School of Forestry, University of Florida, Gaines ville, Florida; the research and educational program in Forest Genetics of the Texas Forest Service, College Station, Texas; and related projects at Crossett, Arkansas, and elsewhere in the South.

Download or read book West Coast Tree Improvement Programs written by F. Thomas Ledig and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three tree improvement programs were analyzed by break-even, cost-benefit technique: one for ponderosa pine in the Pacific Northwest, and two for Douglas-fir in the Pacific Northwest-one of low intensity and the other of high intensity. A return of 8 percent on investment appears feasible by using short rotations or by accompanying tree improvement with thinning. Interest rates, length of rotation, the inclusion of thinnings, and site index had greater effects on profitability than program design. Large breeding zones improved profitability, although they incur the biological risks of nonadaptation to local conditions and loss of local genetic resources. Increasing orchard seed yield affected the results only slightly unless the planting program could be expanded, which is equivalent to increasing the size of the breeding zone. If the increase in seed yield merely reduced the required acreage of seed orchard and associated costs, the financial results improved only slightly.

Download or read book Experimental Design and Data Analysis for Biologists written by Gerry P. Quinn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-03-21 with total page 851 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential textbook for any student or researcher in biology needing to design experiments, sample programs or analyse the resulting data. The text begins with a revision of estimation and hypothesis testing methods, covering both classical and Bayesian philosophies, before advancing to the analysis of linear and generalized linear models. Topics covered include linear and logistic regression, simple and complex ANOVA models (for factorial, nested, block, split-plot and repeated measures and covariance designs), and log-linear models. Multivariate techniques, including classification and ordination, are then introduced. Special emphasis is placed on checking assumptions, exploratory data analysis and presentation of results. The main analyses are illustrated with many examples from published papers and there is an extensive reference list to both the statistical and biological literature. The book is supported by a website that provides all data sets, questions for each chapter and links to software.
Download or read book Tree Breeding and Improvement Theory and Technology written by K.T. Parthiban and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tree Breeding and lmprovement is gaining significant attention and attraction across the country as a scientific tool to enhance the productivity and wood quality besides facilitating conservation of Forest Genetic Resources. The science of Tree Breeding is comparatively young but extended greater scope in the recent past in operational plantation development programme. The Tree Breeding and lmprovement has been incorporated as a subject in Under Graduate as well as Post graduate degree programme in Forestry offered at various State Agricultural Universities of the country. The existing text books on Tree Breeding are very limited and the practical aspects of tree breeding have not been evidenced in most books. The students and the tree breeding scientists require a comprehensive text book incorporating all theoretical and practical aspects of tree breeding. Accordingly the current book entitled “TREE BREEDING AND IMPROVEMENT - THEORY AND TECHNlQUES” has been designed with 18 chapters. The basic and fundamental aspects of tree breeding have been presented in chapter 1. The chapters 2 and 3 elaborate the Center’s of origin and pollination mechanism of trees. The theoretical and practical aspects of tree breeding methods, hybrid development, genetic tests and their biometric analysis have been presented with suitable field level examples from chapter 4 to 9. Incorporation of Seed orchard, clonal forestry, Exotic Forestry and Forest Biotechnology with -the-state-of-art- recent development will find greater utility by the students and researchers. Above all, the chapters on Varietal Developmental Process, Variety Registration and Organizations involved in tree breeding will have profound utility. ln a holistic perspective, the information furnished in the book will act as a great piece of information to the graduating scholars to understand theoretical and practical aspects of tree breeding towards satisfying their academic needs besides applying them in tree breeding research. For the scientists and teaching faculties, the book will act as a ready reckoner not only for reference but also to apply them in all field level applications.
