COMPARING MODELING METHODS OF GENOMIC PREDICTION FOR GROWTH TRAITS OF A TROPICAL TIMBER SPECIES, SHOREA MACROPHYLLA

Comparing modeling methods of genomic prediction for growth traits of a tropical timber species, Shorea macrophylla

IntroductionShorea macrophylla is a commercially important tropical tree species grown for timber Tweed Jackets and oil.It is amenable to plantation forestry due to its fast initial growth.Genomic selection (GS) has been used in tree breeding studies to shorten long breeding cycles but has not previously been applied to S.macrophylla.MethodsTo buil
