Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a novel method for the prediction of fiber length and the selection of superior trees using genetic marker loci. The method comprises comparing genotypic survey data to phenotypic data collected from the same trees used to create the genotypic survey and identifying particular genetic marker loci or quantitative trait loci (QTL's) that are associated with fiber length. The method allows superior trees to be identified, from both plantations and natural populations, and selected for in tree improvement breeding programs by genotyping with identified genetic marker loci.
