Miêu tả
Tóm tắt:Interest in forest genetics began more than two centuries ago when foresters first realized that seed of the same species collected from different geographical locations grew differently when planted together in a common environment. Approximately 50 years ago, pioneers initiated large-scale tree improvement programs to develop genetically improved varieties of some commercially important species. Today, forest genetics is an exciting and challenging field of study that encompasses all subdisciplines of genetics (Mendelian, molecular, population and quantitative genetics) and their applications in gene conservation, tree improvement and biotechnology. Each of these fields has its own terminology and set of concepts; however, all forest geneticists should have a basic understanding of all subdisciplines and be able to integrate across them. Thus, we strive in this book to provide a balanced presentation of the current state of knowledge in each subdiscipline, while also integrating and demonstrating the linkages among them.
