Accelerated Breeding and Testing of Loblolly Pine in the Southern U.S.A.
Progress on accelerated, advanced generation breeding of loblolly pine in the southeastern U.S. is described, including use of indoor breeding orchards and the status of early testing. An accelerated breeding and testing scheme, applicable to any tree breeding program is discussed, which could also be the basis for an operational tree improvement program with significantly shortened generation turnover.
