SNP-based analysis reveals unexpected features of genetic diversity, parental contributions and pollen contamination in a white spruce breeding program

Abstract Accurate monitoring of genetic diversity levels of seedlots and mating patterns of parents from seed orchards are crucial to ensure that tree breeding programs are long-lasting and will deliver anticipated genetic gains. We used SNP genotyping to characterize founder trees, five bulk seed o...
