The Canada-Alberta Forest Resource Development Agreement tree improvement project was started in April 1986 for four years to expand and accelerate work on a provincial genetics and tree improvement program that would lead to enhanced yield, wood quality, and pest resistance. This report describes project activities and accomplishments for the four years, including field selection and wood quality evaluations of 99 superior trees for two genetic improvement projects; establishment of 20 new research plantations on species, provenance, and genetic testing topics, and carrying out intensive investigations on three flowering and seed production studies; planning and implementing a rare and exceptional stands survey; site developments for nine new experimental areas; and a substantially increased plant propagation, seed technology and technical support program to meet requirements of the expanded tree improvement program. The report also presents a summary of selected research results.
Tree Breeding and Improvement Theory and Technology by K.T. Parthiban, N. Krishnakumar,P.S. Devanand Pdf
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.
Tree Breeding: Principles and Strategies by G. Namkoong,H. C. Kang,J. S. Brouard Pdf
It has become apparent, during discussions with students and colleagues in forest genetics, that a universal concern is the achievement of diverse goals of forestry from fiber production in industrial as well as farm forests to conserving forest ecosystems. Although we generally have several breeding methods available and several species to breed, we seek to satisfy multiple-use goals on diverse sites by management techniques that at best can only partially control edaphic environmental variation. The dominant approach, which was agriculturally motivated, has involved inten sive effort with complicated breeding plans on single species for uniform adaptability and single-product plantations. However, this is obviously neither the only, nor necessarily the best, solution for the genetic management of tree species, and thus our intent in this volume is to develop ways to achieve multiple objectives in tree breeding. We include an array of breeding plans from simple iterated designs to sets of multiple populations capable of using gene actions for different traits in different environments for uncertain futures. The presentation is organized around the development of breeding from single-to multiple-option plans, from single to multiple traits, from single to mUltiple environ ments, and from single to multiple populations. However, it is not a complete "How To" book, and includes neither exercises nor instructions on data handling. It also does not include discussion of all modes of reproduction and inheritance encountered in plants.
Genetics and Improvement of Forest Trees by Yuji Ide Pdf
Forest tree improvement has mainly been implemented to enhance the productivity of artificial forests. However, given the drastically changing global environment, improvement of various traits related to environmental adaptability is more essential than ever. This book focuses on genetic information, including trait heritability and the physiological mechanisms thereof, which facilitate tree improvement. Nineteen papers are included, reporting genetic approaches to improving various species, including conifers, broad-leaf trees, and bamboo. All of the papers in this book provide cutting-edge genetic information on tree genetics and suggest research directions for future tree improvement.

Applied Tree Improvement (A Practical Manual) by Dr. S. A. Gangoo & Dr. A. S. Mallick Pdf
There is an urgent world wide need to raise the production of wood in future through afforestation schemes. This need can efficiently be achieved on any given site, besides other factors, through the correct choice of species, improved seed source and specific silvicultural treatments. This is what precisely may be termed as tree improvement . Thus, in other words, without tree improvement, forestry can never come close to reaching the goal of optimum production and productivity. Most of the world s current planting programmes in forestry domain are still based on plants raised from seeds which are collected from unselected populations. Nevertheless, now there is a increasing trend towards the use of phenotypically superior stocks as seed sources. Under the present scenario globally achieving green revolution in forests tree improvement seems to be inevitable. This manual which has been prepared for B. Sc (forestry) and M. Sc. (forestry) students, shows the practical methods in tree improvement. We hope the exercise will prove a great boon for students of forestry and the budding foresters, who are engaged in practical tree improvement in the field. The manual provides only the practical related exercises and the theoretical knowledge can be grasped in theoretical classes and books.

Introduction to Forest Genetics by Jonathan Wright Pdf
Introduction to Forest Genetics examines some of the basic genetic concepts typically used in forestry and tree improvement studies, including Mendelian and population genetics. It also describes techniques that are generally useful in tree improvement work, including individual tree selection and breeding, provenance testing, species and racial hybridization, and introduction of exotics. Organized into 19 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of forest genetics and problems associated with forest genetics. It then discusses concepts from basic genetics, including chromosome structure and function; DNA and RNA; nongenetic inheritance; and genotype versus phenotype. Other chapters focus on inbreeding: complete elimination of homozygous recessive trees; mutation and migration; and controlled pollination and vegetative propagation. The book also covers the establishment and measurement of test plantations; general principles and methods of selective breeding; choice of breeding method and type of seed orchard; heritability and genetic gain; geographic variation in Scotch pine and American trees; species and racial hybridization; chromosome studies; and polyploidy and haploidy breeding. This book is a valuable resource for foresters, professional tree breeders, and those with or without previous training in genetics or forestry.
