Applied breeders may lack specialized knowledge required to evaluate claims made about the advantages of new methods over existing practices and are faced with the challenge of deciding whether to invest in new approaches or continue with current practices. Researchers, on the other hand, often lack experience with constraints faced by applied breeding programs and may not be well-equipped to evaluate the suitability of the method they have developed to a particular program. Our goal here is to outline social, biological, and economic constraints relevant to applied breeding programs to inform researchers, and to summarize some new methods and how they may address those constraints to inform breeders. The constraints faced by programs breeding tropical species grown over large areas in relatively uniform climates with rotations shorter than 10 years differ greatly from those facing programs breeding boreal species deployed in many different environments, each with relatively small areas, with rotations of many decades, so different genomic tools are likely to be appropriate.}, number={2}, journal={FORESTS}, author={Whetten, Ross W. and Jayawickrama, Keith J.
