Integration and use of somatic clones in seed orchard management and the production of a new generation of seeds with a high genetic value

Summary:

Published in Tree Seed Working Group - News Bulletin. Canadian forest genetics association. 50(December): 27-31

The theme of this News Bulletin is “Seed Testing” and I’d like to provide a brief overview of seed
testing history and some additional links for those interested in more information. I generally think of
seed testing in reference to two primary associations – Association of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA) and International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) that provide standardized rules, guidance, and a forum for the exchange of information.
