Proceedings of the symposium on isozymes of North American forest trees and forest insects; July 27, 1979; Berkeley, California

Abstract

These 10 symposium papers discuss gene resource management, basic genetics, genetic variation between and within tree species, genetic variability and growth, comparisons of tree life history characteristics, genetic variation in forest insects, breeding systems, and applied uses of isozymes in breeding programs.
