Abstract excerpt
Forests face many threats. While traditional breeding may be too slow to deliver well-adapted trees, genomic selection (GS) can accelerate the process. We describe a comprehensive study of GS from proof of concept to operational application in western redcedar (WRC, Thuja plicata). Using genomic data, we developed models on a training population (TrP) of trees to predict breeding values (BVs) in a target seedling...
