Seed orchard, the Glossary

A seed orchard is an intensively-managed plantation of specifically arranged trees for the mass production of genetically improved seeds to create plants, or seeds for the establishment of new forests.^[1]

Anemophily

Anemophily or wind pollination is a form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by wind.

See Seed orchard and Anemophily

Clonal colony

A clonal colony or genet is a group of genetically identical individuals, such as plants, fungi, or bacteria, that have grown in a given location, all originating vegetatively, not sexually, from a single ancestor.

See Seed orchard and Clonal colony

Double-pair mating

Double-pair mating (DPM) is a mating (crossing) design used in plant breeding.

See Seed orchard and Double-pair mating

Genetic diversity

Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species.

See Seed orchard and Genetic diversity

Genotype

The genotype of an organism is its complete set of genetic material.

See Seed orchard and Genotype

Grafting

Grafting or graftage is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together.

See Seed orchard and Grafting

Pinus sylvestris

Pinus sylvestris, the Scots pine (UK), Scotch pine (US), Baltic pine, or European red pine is a species of tree in the pine family Pinaceae that is native to Eurasia.

See Seed orchard and Pinus sylvestris

Plant nursery

A nursery is a place where plants are propagated and grown to a desired size.

See Seed orchard and Plant nursery

Plantation

Plantations are farms specializing in cash crops, usually mainly planting a single crop, with perhaps ancillary areas for vegetables for eating and so on.

See Seed orchard and Plantation

Seed production and gene diversity

Genetic diversity is often a major consideration in e g forest crops. Seed orchard and Seed production and gene diversity are Seeds.

See Seed orchard and Seed production and gene diversity

Self-pollination

Self-pollination is a form of pollination in which pollen from one plant arrives at the stigma of a flower (in flowering plants) or at the ovule (in gymnosperms) of the same plant.

See Seed orchard and Self-pollination

Tree breeding

Tree breeding is the application of genetic, reproductive biology and economics principles to the genetic improvement and management of forest trees. Seed orchard and tree breeding are plant genetics.

See Seed orchard and Tree breeding

Yellow pine

In ecology and forestry, yellow pine refers to a number of conifer species that tend to grow in similar plant communities and yield similar strong wood.
