Quality traits in breeding programme “This study provides a good platform for including timber quality traits in tree breeding programs”, he says. “We found signifi cant variations for many characters: spiral grain, wood density, microfi bril angle, cross-sectional tracheid dimension and predicted Modulus of Elasticity (MoE). MoE is an expression for the stiffness of a board, an essential trait for construction lumber that carries a load”. “Further, we showed that heritabilities were high, in most cases exceeding 0.4, for the wood properties. Thus, it should be possible to make genetic selections for these traits”. “We also showed that there is no confl ict between genetic selection for volume growth and shape stability of the lumber. However, MoE, wood density and microfi bril angle showed adverse, negative genetic correlations with growth traits. A selection to increase volume by 10% was predicted to decrease MoE by 6%. Such negative effects can be counteracted by actively identifying and vegetatively propagating trees that combine good growth with acceptable MoE”, he says.
