Abstract excerpt
Understanding the mating system of Eucalyptus species is necessary to accurately estimate genetic parameters and improve breeding programs. Eucalyptus species often exhibit mixed mating systems, leading to complex relationships among progenies. Traditional tree breeding programs that assume a half-sibling relationship for open-pollinated (OP) trials may overestimate genetic gains by neglecting the effects of...
