The main concern for tree breeders and reforestation managers is to provide seedlings of good genetic and morphological quality, that are well adapted to a variety of growing conditions, so their genetic potential can be realized. To achieve this goal, the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune du Québec (MRNF) has established seed transfer rules across the province, that take into account the genetic quality of the material.
