| Abstract: | The seedling growth trait, cyclic growth, is well-correlated with older-tree heights measured in Pinus taeda L. field trials. These results have been repeatable across locations and seed sources if a standard greenhouse procedure is followed. This work is been limited to cyclic growth measured on P. taeda families and seed sources. The use of a standard greenhouse procedure will facilitate comparison with other early genetic evaulation methods for P. taeda and with similar studies on other Pinus species. |
