My present research is improving wood quality of Norway spruce and phenotyping bud flush, flowering, heterobasidion. I am doing Genomic selection and genome-wide association study for Norway spruce in Sweden.
By analysis of the wood quality in fiber lenth, fiber width, lignin/cellulose content and pulp, finally using BLUP to predict the breeding value, and analyze genetic correlation between different traits. By cross between parents with high breeding value, we can get the next generation. From another breeding aim, we select some traits such as wood stiffness, wood density, Microfibril angle, spiral grain angle to predict breeding value and selet the best individual to cross.
