Clonal Variation in Flowering Abundance of Pinus koraiensis

In a seed orchard, unbalanced genetic contributions of clones were very important factors affecting seed quality and genetic flexibility of progenies. Generally, the superior clones had been selected to establish advanced generation seed orchard based on the progeny test. The flowering characteristics of clones have been relatively less considered and applied in a seed orchard management in Korea. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the flowering characteristics of P. koraiensis clones and to supply information for advanced breeding.
