Download or read book Genetics Genomics and Breeding of Eucalypts written by Robert J. Henry and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eucalypts are used for the production of paper products, firewood, charcoal, potential feedstocks for bioenergy and biomaterials, as ornamentals and landscape trees, and in land rehabilitation. Eucalypt breeding is at an early stage with many plantings being only at the first stages of domestication. The relatively small genomes of these species make the application of molecular genetics approaches attractive. The application of modern genomics will accelerate the development of improved eucalypts for a wide range of uses. This book brings together diverse information on the genetics, genomics, and breeding of these important forest species.
Download or read book Genetics and Genomics of Populus written by Stefan Jansson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetics and Genomics of Populus provides an indepth description of the genetic and genomic tools and approaches for Populus, examines the biology that has been elucidated using genomics, and looks to the future of this unique model plant. This volume is designed to serve both experienced Populus researchers and newcomers to the field. Contributors to the volume are a blend of researchers, some who have spent most of their research career on Populus and others that have moved to Populus from other model systems. Research on Populus forms a useful complement to research on Arabidopsis. In fact, many plant species found in nature are – in terms of the life history and genetics – more similar to Populus than to Arabidopsis. Thus, the genetic and genomic strategies and tools developed by the Populus community, and showcased in this volume, will hopefully provide inspiration for researchers working in other, less well developed, systems.

Download or read book Biology of Populus and Its Implications for Management and Conservation written by National Research Council Canada and published by NRC Research Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Poplar is increasingly recognized as an excellent model tree for the study of tree growth and its underlying physiology and genetics. By studying trees of the genus Populus (poplars, cottonwoods, aspens), which in their native ecosystems play a major role in the re-colonization of sites after disturbances, new insights have been gained into plantation culture and the development of improved cultivars. Of the 20 chapters in this publication, editored by an international group of researchers, one section deals with systematics, genetics, genetic manipulation and biotic interactions of Populus, while the other deals with stress response and the physiology of growth and productivity" --
Download or read book New Models for Implementation of Genome wide Evaluation in Black Poplar Breeding Program written by Marie Pegard and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest species are unique in many ways compared to other domesticated species. Forest trees have long juvenile phases, leading to long and costly selection cycles and requiring selection in several independent stages. Even if this method is operationally effective, it remains costly in terms of time and resources, resulting in a diluted intensity and accuracy of selection.In view of these constraints, trees are good candidates for the implementation of genomic evaluation. Genomic selection (SG) is based on the classification and selection of individuals from the information contained in their genome without using a phenotypic evaluation step and thus accelerating the selection process, in order to identify the situations, criteria and factors in which SG could be a feasible option for poplar. Our study showed that the benefits of genomic evaluation are context-dependent. Genomic evaluation is most effective in theless-advantageous situations, it also benefits from low to medium density genetic information following a high-quality imputation step. Genomic selection could be an interesting option at an early stage, when the accuracy of selection is generally low and genetic variability is abundant.Our work has also shown that it is important to evaluate performance with alternative criteria,such as those related to ranking, especially when these criteria fit the operational context of the breeding programme under study.

Download or read book Tree Breeding written by Gene Namkoong and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a dynamical approach for planning tree breeding programs. Utilizing various gene actions and methods of selection and mating, the book describes how breeding populations can evolve improved responses to present and future demands. However, it describes more than techniques. It also introduces a dynamical concept of tree breeding, provides more mathematical and statistical underpinning, and gives rationale for deciding among an array of programs. Furthermore, a broad array of plans from simple, iterated breeding plans, to systems of multiple populations capable of adjusting gene actions for different traits in different environments and uncertain futures are included. It also describes the kinds of information needed as the complexity of program design increases and how to design experiments to obtain that information. The book supplies the basic concepts needed to develop a dynamical program, and to enable tree breeders to decide what level of program is needed and how to get there.
