Estimates Of Selfed Seedling Production From A Slash Pine Seed Orchard Based On Gene Markers

Ramets of slash pine clones carrying genes for chlorophyll deficiencies in the early post-germination stage were used to estimate natural selfing in grafted seed orchards. Percentages of selfed seedlings in wind-pollinated seed orchard collections averaged 2.6 and ranged from 0.0 to 8.9. Seed collected from ortets in natural stands produced an average of 5.9 percent selfed seedlings.
