Genetic relationships between terminal shoot length, number of flushes and height in a 4-year-old progeny test of Pinus brutia Ten.

Abstract: Key message In this study, genetic variation in polycyclic growth was investigated in a young Pinus brutia Ten. study in Turkey. The number of flushes was partially under additive genetic control and was moderately correlated with the tree height at age 4.• Context Pinus brutia is the most economically important tree species in Turkey. Previous limited studies suggested that its cyclic shoot elongation pattern can be useful for selecting seed sources for breeding and conservation of genetic resources.• Aims Un… Show more

“…In this study, polycyclic growth was assessed only for the fourth growing season the estimates based on younger trees seem to be lower. For example, Alan and Isik (2021) reported heritability estimates similar to this study for number of flushes in four-year old Pinus brutia progeny tests. In addition, frequency of polycyclic growth largely depends on precipitation at the place of origin (Correia, et al 2008) and climatic conditions at plantation location (Akgül 2010).…”
