Forest genetics research projects
Supporting research projects assist with the delivery and effective utilization of selected and advanced-generation material from the tree breeding programs. These projects contribute to further developments in the field:
- Adaptive physiology
- Cone and seed pests
- Genetic worth for timber supply analysis
- Deployment and genetic diversity
- Breeding values in tree seed
- Realized genetic gain trials
Technical support for the applied breeding programs requires a substantial amount of ancillary or support research. Programs and projects assist with the delivery and application of improved materials, better testing approaches and new technical developments.
