The study investigates the long-term impact of Lophodermium needle cast on open-pollinated Scots pine progenies in Latvia. A significant impact of cumulative needle cast damage on growth and survival was found. Notably, 51% of trees experienced severe damage after the 4th growing season. Genetic factors played a role in survival at 12 years. Height...

Key message:Eucalyptusbreeding can benefit from strategies that capture dominance effects, as shown by the improvement in mean annual increment of wood volume across cycles of RRS. Abstract: There is no empirical validation of reciprocal recurrent selection (RRS) in Eucalyptus breeding. Our study helps to fill this gap by quantifying the realized r...
