SLIDE 5
Genomic selection can let us skip a generation
- f breeding – rapid delivery of improved trees
(Isik et al. 2014)
SLIDE 6
- Collaboration – sharing/using genomic resources
- Breeding by design – responsive
- Diversity
- Disease
SLIDE 7
1000 bull genomes project
- a large database for genomic prediction and
genome wide association studies in all cattle breeds
- http://www.1000bullgenomes.com/
SLIDE 8
Genomic selection
- Used in almost all dairy breeding programs
- Worldwide, 2 million dairy cattle have now been
genotyped
SLIDE 9
Geospatial
- In NZ we have access
to many GIS layers of information
- Climate, soils
- Forest productivity

We propose a bright future with integration of new technology
- How do we answer the questions posed by David
Balfour ?
- What we know
- What tools we now have
SLIDE 21
David Balfour’s questions
- How fast can a new generation be deployed with confidence of
desired performance that can be taken to value – include propagation?
- Does genetics lift the site carrying capacity and what can we
aim for – MAI 40+?
- How do you trade off the different traits e.g what volume would
be sacrificed to get flat strength/density gradient pith to bark.
- What genetic diversity should foresters aim for – should clones
be planted in mixtures?
SLIDE 22
- Breeding productive & resilient forests
- Finding the synergies in genotype,
environment and silviculture
- Genomics and phenomics
