  • Development and application of SSR markers for measuring gene flow in Douglas-fir

    Creator:
    Slavov, Gancho Trifonov
    Abstract:
    Gene flow is a major evolutionary force and an important factor in the breeding and conservation of forest trees. I studied the applicability of SSR markers for measuring pollen-mediated gene flow (i.e., pollen flow) in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco). I developed SSR markers, tested alternative approaches for measuring pollen...

  • Stiffness of Douglas-fir lumber : effects of wood properties and genetics

    Creator:
    Vikram, Vikas
    Abstract:
    Wood stiffness is one of the most important properties of lumber and veneer. We studied wood stiffness (modulus of elasticity, MOE), wood density, microfibril angle, and knots in a 25 year-old wind pollinated progeny test (50 families, ~ 373 trees) of coastal Douglas-fir to understand the potential for genetically improving...
