Seed orchards in development.
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reviews the role of seed orchards as output systems for genetic improvement programs. In this paper, technological changes since the 1950s are examined, with emphasis on recent developments. The need to equate the type of seed orchard to the type of forestry practiced is recognized, as is the significance of the relationship between seed orchards and other output systems for genetically improved material.

Simple Genetic Distance-Optimized Field Deployments for Clonal Seed Orchards Based on Microsatellite Markers: As a Case of Chinese Pine Seed Orchard
Chinese pine seed orchards are in a period of transition from first-generation to advanced-generations. How to effectively select populations for second-generation seed orchards and significantly increase genetic gain through rational deployment have become major issues. In this study, we examined open- and control-pollinated progeny of the first-generation Chinese pine seed orchards in Zhengni...
متن کاملPotential Male Gametophyte Competition among Camellia Sinensis Genotypes in Isolated Biclonal Seed Orchards
Male fertility of crop plants is a function of pollen production and viability. In breeding, it is a requirement that there be similar fertilities among breeding parents within seed orchards. An in-vitro germination method was used in this study to determine variation in pollen viability among eight tea (Camellia sinensis) genotypes, over three flowering seasons in four isolated biclonal seed o...

This paper stresses the need for developing seed orchards and germ plasm banks of medicinal plants at various eco-climatic zones of the country, as many of these valuable renewable resources are fast dwindling due to over exploitation and indiscriminate extraction from the forest and country side. It projects the possibility of increasing the export potential and generating employment opportuni...
متن کاملMorpho-Physiological Variation of White Spruce Seedlings from Various Seed Sources and Implications for Deployment under Climate Change
Because of changes in climatic conditions, tree seeds originating from breeding programs may no longer be suited to sites where they are currently sent. As a consequence, new seed zones may have to be delineated. Assisted migration consists of transferring seed sources that match the future climatic conditions to which they are currently adapted. It represents a strategy that could be used to m...

It was pointed out in a previous report (1) that the inorganic composition of the pulp of Fuerte avocado fruit varies according to the availability of fertilizer elements in orchard soils. Fullmer (2) has shown for these same orchards that the petioles (leaf stalks) and leaf blades from trees in orchards that have received fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium tended to contain higher...
