A Multiple-objective Forest Tree Breeding Strategy
A unique concept is proposed for application of multiple-objective linear programming techniques to tree breeding programs. The concept would retain genetic diversity in the breeding population, permit changes in breeding objectives without returning to earlier generations of selection, and still provide for genetic improvement in any selected direction. Problems with inbreeding are considered, and application of the concept to current tree improvement programs is discussed.
