Mating pattern and pollen dispersal in an advanced generation seed orchard of Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Seed orchards represent the link between forest breeding and conifer production forests, and their mating patterns determine the genetic quality of seed orchard crops to a large extent.

Genetic diversity and background pollen contamination in Norway spruce and Scots pine seed orchard crops [PDF]
Forestry Research, 2022 Seed orchards are the key link between tree breeding and production forest for conifer trees. In Sweden, Scots pine and Norway spruce seed orchards currently supply ca. 85% of seedlings used in annual reforestation.

Stability in and correlation between factors influencing genetic quality of seed lots in seed orchard of Pinus tabuliformis Carr. over a 12-year span. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Coniferous seed orchards require a long period from initial seed harvest to stable seed production. Differential reproductive success and asynchrony are among the main factors for orchard crops year-to-year variation in terms of parental gametic ...
