- PublicationIndustry wide genetic analysis of tree breeding data using TREEPLAN®(Forest and Wood Products Australia Limited, 2011)
;Kerr, R J ;McRae, T A; ; ;Dutkowski, G W ;Costa e Silva, JForest and Wood Products AustraliaTREEPLAN is an advanced analytical tool providing accurate and precise predictions of genetic values to operational tree breeders. This project aimed to exploit TREEPLAN's analytical power for the benefit of all sections of the forest growing industry; in particular, the deployment sector and programs not traditionally associated with the Southern Tree Breeding Association. The outputs include: the routine inclusion of reproductive and fitness traits into the assessment framework; better prediction of stand performance through competition models; the undertaking of pilot studies using data from large industry programs; and the better modelling of the genetic structures of hybrid populations.
