This handbook was designed as a reference tool for forest
geneticists, tree breeders and other tree improvement personnel, as
well as a textbook for university courses and short-courses at the
graduate level in quantitative genetics. The chapters focus on the
decision points faced by quantitative geneticists and breeders in
designing programs and analyzing data. Beginning with a
justification for the use of quantitative genetics in decision
making in tree improvement programs, the book continues with a
brief presentation of fundamental principles, followed by
discussions and evaluations of mating designs and field test
designs, the use of best linear predictors to estimate breeding
values, the use of computer programs in the analysis of variance
for genetic information, the deployment of genetically improved
stock for capturing gains, the use of economic models for program
justification, and the development of seed transfer guidelines.
