Abstract The seed orchards (SO) serve possibilities to collect seeds from the selected genotypes or to create artificial population throughout the controlled crossing of the target genotypes. Therefore, the seed material obtained from the clonal and seedling seed orchards offers unique opportunity to improve the genetic value of seeds. Thus, the seed orchards are considered as an important part of the forest seed base being the key object for both modern forestry and forestry research.

Abstract:

The annual demand and supply of genetically improved planting stock suitable for sites across varying landscapes, with changing climatic conditions and increasing pest and disease threats are becoming more complex. The agility for effective responses to long-term sustainability of commercial plantations, aimed at different markets, requires a significant investment in genetic resource acquisitions, tree breeding, land management, gene conservation and plant production systems. Tree breeding is one of our most important adaptation strategies in response to climate change and related challenges.

Abstract:

Abstract Nordmann fir (Abies nordmanniana) is used for production of high value Christmas trees in short rotation. Potentially all trees are intended to be sold - no thinnings are normally applied. A high proportion of saleable trees per ha is the main key to secure economic return to the growers. Consumers demand a symmetric and rather uniform tree and, dependent on local traditions, it should be more or less dense and narrow. In Denmark, breeding of Nordmann fir and establishment of seed orchards focus on seed supply and improved Christmas tree quality - aiming at adaption and a rather unifo

Two experiments in black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) seedling seed orchards were established to determine if a stem injection of paclobutrazol (2RS,3RS)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) could be used as an adjunct treatment to increase the efficacy of stem injections of gibberellins A4 and A7 (GA4/7). Trees received a single injection of GA4/7 and (or) paclobutrazol shortly after vegetative bud burst. There was a dose-dependent but nonlinear increase in the production of cones of both sexes in response to stem injections of either GA4/7 or paclobutrazol. The opt

Abstract In two experiments the effects of trunk drenches with two gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitors on vegetative growth, seed yield and quality of ‘Delicious’ and ‘Golden Delicious’ apple trees were studied. In the first experiment trunk drenches of either paclobutrazol or uniconizole were applied to ‘Golden Delicious’ apple trees in spring 1984. Both chemicals significantly reduced shoot length in 1985 and 1986. In 1986, fruit number tended to be higher in treated trees, but was less than untreated trees in 1985 and 1984.

Vicia villosa Roth is an annual cover crop that is widely grown in orchards in China. Information on seed ecology is valuable as it helps famers to plant cover crops and manage other weed species in agricultural practice; however, information on V. villosa seed-germination ecology is limited. Thus, this study investigated the seed germination and seedling emergence of V. villosa under various temperatures, photoperiods, levels of salt stress, pH, levels of osmotic stress, and burial depths. The results showed that the germination values of the V. villosa seeds were greater than 93% at the cons

The establishment of citrus orchards with rootstocks from seed with a low physiological quality has been a recurring problem. Low quality seeds directly affect both the final stand and the time required for seedling production. The irregular maturation of fruits, seed recalcitrance, and the high incidence of fungi, make long term storage difficult, even at low temperatures. This study evaluated the storage potential and the use of fungicide treatments on 'Swingle' citrumelo seeds extracted from fruits collected at two maturation stages, green or ripe.
