Eucalyptus globulus is one of the most commonly planted hardwood species for industrial use in various temperate regions around world. The present study aimed to evaluate 62 full-sib families E. southernmost progeny trials south Chile. Estimates genetic parameters stem straightness, branching quality and growth traits were based on a Bayesian modelling approach using Gibbs sampling. A Bayes Factor (BF) analysis supported hypothesis significant additive variation all under study. Conversely,...
The present study was undertaken to examine the ability of different genomic selection (GS) models predict growth traits (diameter at breast height, tree height and wood volume), stem straightness branching quality Eucalyptus globulus Labill. trees using a genome-wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) chip (60 K), in one southernmost progeny trials species, close its southern distribution limit Chile. GS methods examined were Ridge Regression-BLUP (RRBLUP), Bayes-A, Bayes-B, Bayesian...
