Site-to-site Genetic Correlations and Their Implications on Breeding Zone Size and Optimum Number of Progeny Test Sites for Coastal Douglas-fir
نویسنده
چکیده
Type B genetic correlations were used to examine the relation among geographic differences between sites and their siteto-site genetic (Type B) correlations. Examination of six local breeding zones in Oregon indicated that breeding zones were, for the most part, not too large because few environmental variables were correlated with Type B genetic correlations. The data also were used to examine expected gains from using combinations of sites in selection indices. Even though additional sites always increased the expected genetic gain, the marginal increase was only minimal if 3 or 4 sites were already in the index. The trend was consistent over all 6 breeding zones.

Ecological classification of southern intertidal zones of Qeshm Island, based on CMECS model
The “Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS)”, a new approach to ecological classification, was applied to 122 km of the southern intertidal zone of Qeshm Island located the Hormouz Strait - the Persian Gulf. Two components of this model, Surface Geology (SGC) and Biotic Cover (BCC) were used. Considering the extent and geomorphological alternations of the covered area, 12...

We enumerate the genetic resources for coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco vat. menziesit) in tree improvement programs in the Paci tic Northwest USA and evaluate how they contribute to gene conservation of the species. The first-generation programs include over four million progeny from 33,928 selections planted on 999 test sites. Nearly 2,000 of the selections tested in ...

This study was undertaken to estimate genetic trend and parameters of Holstein cattle in Khorasan province for milk yield using a spline random regression test day animal model. A total of 32854 monthly test day milk records (twice and thrice a day milking) obtained from 3842 Holstein heifers (progeny of 466 sires) distributed in 125 herds and calved from 2001 to 2005 was used to predict breedi...

متن کاملMaturation in Douglas-fir: I. Changes in stem, branch and foliage characteristics associated with ontogenetic aging.
Two experiments were conducted to characterize changes associated with ontogenetic aging in coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) and to identify possible maturation "markers" for this species. In the first experiment (Experiment 1), scions of ages 1, 4 and 9 years were collected from four seed zones in field progeny tests and grafted onto 1-year-old rootstocks. In Experime...
