Patterns of genetic variation in Cordia africana, a tropical timber species, were evaluated at the population level. Bulk seed samples were collected from six natural populations in Ethiopia and examined for variations in seed... more
Bauhinia variegata is a multipurpose tree species which is extensively used as food, fodder and medicine by the tribals of Dang district in Gujarat. The natural population in wild is very less and whatever individuals available, is of... more
Fifteen Populations of superior plus trees (20-30cm diameter) of Grewia optiva Drummond (Beul) have been selected for study in three districts viz; Kangra, Hamirpur, and Mandi of Himachal Pradesh. To study the variation in morphological... more
Developing seed production areas (SPAs) is one of the first steps in tree improvement programme that can be used to obtain genetically improved seed for immediate planting. It is usually for the short term in nature. Though seeds obtained... more
Accurate prediction of genetic potential and response to selection in breeding requires knowledge of genetic parameters for important selection traits. In this study, we estimated genetic parameters for wood properties in Khasi pine... more
The genus Quercus, which belongs to the family Fagaceae, is native to the northern hemisphere and includes deciduous and evergreen species. The trees of the different species are very important from both economic and ecological... more
Genetic diversity was estimated in 37 neem accessions from different eco-geographic regions of India and four exotic lines from Thailand using AFLP markers. Seven AFLP selective primer combinations generated a total of 422 amplification... more
Millettia ferruginea (Hochst.) Baker is a potential agroforestry species endemic to Ethiopia. No documented information exists about genetic variation in this species, thus baseline information is needed to initiate improvement program.... more
Genetic diversity was estimated in 37 neem accessions from di!erent eco-geographic regions of India and four exotic lines from Thailand using AFLP markers. Seven AFLP selective primer combinations generated a total of 422... more
The importance of agroforestry systems as carbon sinks has recently been recognized due to the need of climate change mitigation. The objective of this study was to compare the carbon content in living biomass, soil (0–10, 10–20, 20–30 cm... more
Summary The productivity of plantation forests is essential to meet the future world demand for wood and wood products in a sustainable fashion and in a manner that preserves natural stands and biodiversity. Plantation forestry has... more
In this paper, we examine the performance of frequent pattern mining algorithms on a mod-ern processor. A detailed performance study reveals that even the best frequent pattern mining implementations, with highly efficient memory... more
Cedrela odorata (Spanish cedar) is a neotropical broadleaf tree species that is in high demand for furniture and interior fittings. In 1998, seed collections were made from Spanish cedar in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, for genetic... more
