Pollination Bag Type Affects Ovule Development and Seed Yields in Pinus taeda L.

Heine, A. J., Walker, T. D., Jett, J. B., Isik, F., & McKeand, S. E. (2022, December 14). FOREST SCIENCE, Vol. 12.

By: A. Heine n , T. Walker n , J. Jett n, F. Isik n  & S. McKeand n 

author keywords: Pinus taeda; cone analysis; controlled pollination; seed yield; seed orchard
TL;DR: Compared with open-pollinated families, full-sibling crosses among elite parents of loblolly pine produce more market value to landowners due to greater productivity, increased disease resistance, and enhanced stem form. (via Semantic Scholar)
