Pollen gene flow, male reproductive success, and genetic correlations among offspring in a northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) seed orchard
Northern red oak is a high-value hardwood used for lumber, furniture and veneer. Intensively managed northern red oak seed orchards are required to obtain genetic gain for trait improvement. Data from conifer seed orchards and natural and managed stands of hardwood trees have shed light on the distance over which pollen can move, and underscore the need for managerial attention to seed orchard ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the tree-improvement delivery system: factors af
during the fragmented phases of the tree-improvement delivery system are reviewed. The impacts of intentional and unintentional directional selection during phenotypic selection, seed production (with its associated reproductive-phenology asynchrony, fecundity differential and varying propensity to inbreeding), seed processing and storage, and seedling production are evaluated. In general, gene...
متن کاملVariation in Flowering Abundance and Its Impact on the Genetic Diversity of the Seed Crop in a Norway Spruce
The variation in flowering abundance was studied in a Norway spruce seed orchard, located in southern Finland (62°13'N, 25°24'E), consisting of 67 clones from northern Finland (64°–67°N). The flowering variation in 1984–1996 was studied at the annual, clonal and graft level. In addition, the genetic diversity of an imaginary seed crop was estimated using a concept of status number. The between-...
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...
متن کاملInfluence of growth on reproductive traits and its effect on fertility and gene diversity in a clonal seed orchard of scots pine, Pinus Sylvestris L.
This study was carried out in a clonal seed orchard of scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), to determine the difference and interaction for reproductive and growth characters among clones and its impact on fertility variation and gene diversity Numbers of female and male strobili, and height and diameter at breast height were studied on six grafts chosen randomly in each of the 27 clones for the p...
