This review highlights some of the discoveries and applications made possible by "omics" technologies over last 10 years provides perspectives for pioneering research to increase our understanding tree biology. A decade after first forest genome sequence was released into public domain, rapidly evolving genomics bioinformatics toolbox has advanced structure, functioning, evolution genomes. that have trees past years. In this review, we start current intricacies gene regulation reproduction,...
Abstract Purpose of Review In this review, we synthesise current knowledge on trade-offs among traits in key fitness dimensions and identify major research gaps with the intention laying groundwork for a rapid advance tree breeding multiple objectives as contribution to sustainability planted forests future. Recent Findings Trade-offs growth, reproduction, defence, stress tolerance product quality predicted theoretically have been reported experimentally many programmes. Among these...
Motivation: DNA methylation plays a crucial role in gene regulation and epigenetic inheritance, making it essential information for studies of genotype-environment interactions. As whole genome sequencing analysis is still expensive at the population level, focus on regions interest. However, data matrices may contain missing some individuals, which can hamper analyses. Here, several methods imputing were evaluated targeted two species. Results: We compare seven different imputation obtained...
Abstract Background Recent literature on the differential role of genes within networks distinguishes core from peripheral genes. If previous works have shown contrasting features between them, whether such categorization matters for phenotype prediction remains to be studied. Results We measured 17 phenotypic traits 241 cloned genotypes a Populus nigra collection, covering growth, phenology, chemical and physical properties. also sequenced RNA each genotype built co-expression define found...
To study the potential of genomic selection for heterosis resulting from multiplicative interactions between additive and antagonistic components, we focused on oil palm, where bunch production is product weight number. We simulated two realistic breeding populations compared current reciprocal recurrent (RRS) with (RRGS) over four generations. All strategies aimed at selecting best individuals in parental to increase hybrids. For RRGS, obtained estimated values using GBLUP hybrid phenotypes...
Abstract In the domestication and breeding of tree species that suffer from inbreeding depression (ID), long-term performance different strategies is poorly known. Therefore, seven including single population, subline, selfing, nucleus were simulated using a multi-locus model with additive, partial, complete dominance allele effects, intermediate, U-shaped, major distributions. The compared for genetic gain, accumulation, capacity to show ID, frequencies fixations unfavorable alleles,...
Forest trees like poplar are particular in many ways compared to other domesticated species. They have long juvenile phases, ongoing crop-wild gene flow, extensive outcrossing, and slow growth. All these particularities tend make the conduction of breeding programs evaluation stages costly both time resources. Perennials therefore good candidates for implementation genomic selection (GS) which is a way accelerate process, by unchaining from phenotypic without affecting precision. In this...
Deciding how to establish woodland in forest restoration is not straightforward as different outcomes may be obtained from establishment approaches, each with cost implications and degree of success limitations attached. Planning requires knowledge site conditions, including sites are likely respond under climate change. For objectives production high timber quality it that ground preparation will used, planting reproductive material (FRM) known traits, such as: survival growth...
Abstract Here we present the strategy that achieves lowest possible rate of inbreeding (ΔF) for a population with unequal numbers sires and dams random mating. This new results in ΔF as much 10% lower than previously achieved. A simple efficient approach to reducing small populations sexes census number is impose breeding structure where parental success controlled each generation. led development strategies selecting replacements generation were based upon parentage, e.g., son replacing its...
Prosopis represents a valuable forest resource in arid and semiarid regions. Management of promising species requires information about genetic parameters, mainly the heritability (h(2)) quantitative profitable traits. This parameter is traditionally estimated from progeny tests or half-sib analysis conducted experimental stands. Such an approach estimates h(2) ratio between-family/total phenotypic variance. These analyses are difficult to apply natural populations with long life cycle,...
Abstract The link between phenotypic plasticity and heterosis is a broad fundamental question, with stakes in breeding. We report case-study evaluating temporal series of wood ring traits hybrid larch (Larix decidua × L. kaempferi reciprocal) relation to soil water availability. Growth rings record the tree plastic responses past environmental conditions, we used random regressions estimate reaction norms width density respect investigated role on construction expression its quantitative...
Summary Adverse genetic correlations between wood volume and quality traits are one of the main constraints in advancing radiata pine other breeding programs. To overcome or deal with adverse correlation conifer programs, a Monte Carlo simulation study for adversely correlated DBH density was conducted using allele-based models. Two allelic models were generated study: mixed-loci model independent pleiotropic loci (i.e. each locus affecting more than trait) an...
