The potential of aspen clonal forestry in Alberta: breeding regions and estimates of genetic gain from selection. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2012 Background: Aspen naturally grows in large, single-species, even-aged stands that regenerate clonally after fire disturbance. This offers an opportunity for an intensive clonal forestry system that closely emulates the natural life history of the species.

Vegetative propagation and application of clonal forestry in Brazilian native tree species [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2018 : Understanding the mechanisms involved in tree species maturation, related mainly to ontogenetic age effects, has contributed significantly to the vegetative propagation process of Brazilian native tree species, with consequent application of clonal ...

Implementation of conifer somatic embryogenesis in clonal forestry: technical requirements and deployment considerations [PDF]
Annals of Forest Science, 2002 Cloning of trees using somatic embryogenesis (SE) could have a major impact on tree breeding and commercial plantation forestry. In conjunction with cryopreservation, SE offers an opportunity to develop highly valuable clone lines.

The effects of clonal forestry on genetic diversity in wild and domesticated stands of forest trees [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, 2019 The level of genetic diversity maintained in a population is determined by the combined action of mutation, gene flow, genetic drift and selection. Forest tree breeding is a relatively recent phenomenon compared to most crop species and the material that

Clonal Propagation Index for cutting production in forestry
Revista Forestal Mesoamericana KurúWith the development of clonal production systems in forestry, there is a need for efficient indicators to determine the production capacity of the system. The Clonal Propagation Productivity Index (CPI) is recommended to determine the effect of possible

Benefits and risks of using clones in forestry – a review
Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, 2019 The use of vegetative propagation in forestry has a long history. In this chapter of special issue, the genetic gain from clonal forestry relative to family forestry is reviewed.

Advantage of clonal deployment in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst)
Annals of Forest Science, 2020 Key message There is considerable genetic gain of tree volume from clonal deployment in Norway spruce (Picea abies(L.) H. Karst) and clonal deployment will have at least 50% more or double genetic gain than the seedling deployment.

Unequal clonal deployment improves genetic gains at constant diversity levels for clonal forestry
Tree Genetics & Genomes, 2012 Maximizing genetic gain at an acceptable diversity level is an ideal outcome of selection and deployment. Based on this criterion, this study investigated the efficiency of unequal clonal deployment strategies for clonal forestry and compared them with ...
