<strong>Wild</strong> <strong>Cherry</strong><br />

A new seed orchard – Selection of mother trees<br />

Selectie strategie (2/3)<br />

• Afstammingstesten<br />

− seed collection in multiclonal plantations half-sib progeny<br />

− establishment of 13 experimental plantations ( 11.3 ha )<br />

− estimation of heritability h² A of selection criteria<br />

− assessment of General Combining Ability (GCA) for each trait<br />

for each genotype<br />

n m i n m i<br />

GCA i = ( Σ Σ T ij ) / ( Σ m i ) - ( Σ T ij ) / m i<br />

i=1 j=1 i=1 j=1<br />

with<br />

m i = nbr. of seedlings within the hal-sib progeny of genotype i<br />

n = number of genotypes
