Forest tree breeding has been ongoing for more than 70 years across
Europe. It has successfully generated improved varieties for the
major economical forest tree species. They are part of the present
European forestry landscape and largely contribute to intensive
wood production and other forest activities. In this book, we
describe the state-of-art of breeding for the main forest tree
species. We provide a comprehensive, unique and up-to-date overview
of the major scientific results and breeding achievements gathered
from the many programmes scattered across Europe. The book is
divided into 10 chapters, each as a monograph corresponding to a
species or group of species Abies spp., (Larix spp., Picea abies,
Picea sitchensis, Pinus sylvestris, Pseudotsuga menziesii, and
Mediterranean pines; Acer pseudoplatanus, Fraxinus excelsior, and
Prunus avium). Each of them is written by a group of experts and
focuses on the distribution and economical importance of the
species; motivation for breeding and breeding objectives;
intraspecific genetic variability, breeding populations and
breeding strategy; forest reproductive material deployment
including mass-propagation and, prospects and perspectives for
joint research and breeding. The book is a unique and up-dated
source of information for students, researchers and professionals
interested in the genetics and domestication of forest tree
species.
