Application of genetic markers to tree breeding
Rapid advances have occurred concerning DNA markers in forest genetics: Two years ago, in June 1991, a workshop was organized by G.A. Tuskan and C.G. Williams, at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, on the potential use of genetic markers in tree breeding (Tuskan 1992). Few if any of the attendees would have predicted the rapid advances that have taken place in theory and methodology that can now be applied to genomic analysis of forest trees. The purpose of this paper is to reexamine some of the issues raised at the Gatlinburg meeting in view of this new technology and new theory.
