Simulation of marker assisted breeding in an applied tree improvement project : a case study based on the Western Gulf Forest Tree Improvement Program /

Marker assisted selection (MAS) was evaluated by Monte Carlo simulation in the context of an applied tree improvement program. Selection was modeled for a quantitative trait where 1, 3, or 5 quantitative trait loci (QTL) explained 60% of the additive genetic variation in a single family used for QT...
