This paper evaluates genomic selection strategies for Scots pine breeding using long-term progeny trials and simulations, finding that genomic selection with phenotypic thinning provides the highest annual gains for certain traits.

This study compares advanced marker-assisted selection and genomic selection in tree breeding, finding genomic selection outperforms MAS in most scenarios except when using large unrelated populations for GWAS.

The paper introduces a nearest neighbour method based on genic distance for assigning individuals to geographic origin, showing improved performance over existing methods in both simulated and experimental datasets.
