Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes an important phase of the United States Department of Agriculture's Forest Service effort to produce blister rust resistant western white pine planting stock to combat the devastating effects of Cronartium ribicola, a fungal disease that had decimated the species across North America. The author explores how first, one-and-one-half, and then two cycles of selection for general combining ability for resistance were implemented. The promising results of field testing in three localities in northern Idaho and eastern Washington are also included. These tests showed significantly higher resistance in the second generation of selected planting stock, indicating the potential for attaining high levels of resistance and the possibility of restoring western white pine as a viable component of forest ecosystems. The author's research and analysis provide valuable insights into the complexities of breeding for disease resistance in forest trees and the potential for genetic improvement to address critical challenges in forestry. This book is essential reading for foresters, plant pathologists, geneticists, and anyone interested in the conservation of forest resources.
