Breeding of the Tree Shrew

Nature, 1954
A COLONY of tree shrews, Tupaia glis (Diard), has been maintained at the University of Malaya for the past nineteen months, specimens having been obtained both from the Federation of Malaya and from Thailand. A total of fifty-five living animals has been received; the colony at the time of writing includes thirteen males and fourteen females.

Forest-tree breeding

Economic Botany, 1948
The breeding of forest trees by means of selection and of hybridization in order to obtain increased disease resistance and improved utilitarian qualities in pulp and timber trees is still in the experimental stage, but long-range planning along these lines offers one means of balancing diminishing timber supplies.

Genomics to tree breeding and forest health

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2007
Genomic discovery in forest trees follows paradigms from both agricultural crop and livestock improvement and human medicine. Forest trees in a domesticated state can be improved using genomic-based breeding technologies, whereas the health of trees in a natural and undomesticated state might be managed using those same technologies. These applications

TEA TREE BREEDING

1999
Australian tea tree oil from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia (Maiden and Betche) Cheel is an important commercial product due to its antimicrobial properties. Oil production has expanded in recent years to meet increased demand for the oil from both Australia and overseas.

Modern Advances in Tree Breeding

2013
Traditional tree improvement programs are long-term endeavours requiring extensive resources. They require establishing mating designs, installing progeny tests on multiple sites to evaluate parents and their offspring over large geographic areas, monitoring those tests over extended periods of time, and eventual analysis of measurements to assess ...

Tree Breeding Opportunities and Limitations

1988
Since the mid-1950s, tree breeders have demonstrated that simple selection-type breeding operations can substantially increase yield and modify many traits and adaptabilities. Yet, forest genetics has had only minor impact on the vast majority of commercial forest land and no impact on bringing marginally commercial land into production.

THE BREEDING OF INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIAN TREES

Australian Forestry, 1948
SUMMARY The breeding of the native trees of Australia is only in its infancy, but interest in the work is growing rapidly and it promises to yield valuable benefits to Australian forestry in the near future. Of special interest to the tree-breeder in Australia are certain species which have great value for special-purpose products.
