Reciprocal and Maternal Effects on Growth and Form Traits in Radiata Pine in New Zealand. Kumar, S & Wu, H X 2003.
abstract   bibtex   
The information from two experiments was used to study reciprocal and maternal effects on several growth and form traits in Pinus radiata. In Experiment 1, 10 families and their reciprocals obtained from a 5 x 5 diallel experiment were planted across three sites. In Experiment 2, 17 parents were used in a partial diallel design and all available crosses were planted at a single site. All three sites for Experiment 1 were assessed at 9 years of age. The site for Experiment 2 was assessed at the age of 6-years. Four growth and form traits, namely diameter at breast height (DBH), straightness (STR), branching (BR) and malformation (MAL) were measured in both experiments while needle retention (NRA) was assessed only in Experiment 1.
