Description
Summary:Wood quality and uniformity are primary objectives of a forest tree improvement program. A considerable amount of wood variation is under genetic control and thus genetic manipulation is an effective tool to change wood properties. Wood is controlled genetically both directly in the developmental or internal process of wood formation and indirectly by the control of form and growth. Emphasis in this book is on internal control. The authors summarize the widely scattered literature and combine it with ideas and concepts gained through many years of working intensively with wood and controlling its variability.
