Cones and Clones: Genetic Variation of White Spruce Seed and Clones
| Division: | Biotechnology / None | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Central Newfoundland | | City: | Grand Falls-Windsor, NL | | School: | Exploits Valley High | | Abstract: | Analysis of white spruce cone and seed traits from samples collected within Newfoundland’s seed orchard over a two year period revealed strong genetic variation between and within families and illustrated the importance of sampling biological systems over time. Understanding these differences will aid in selecting candidates for advanced breeding and insure research studies are designed correctly. Maternal control was apparent over all characteristics including fertilization. |
