Executive summary
The third (JNL Ngaumu) of three E. globoidea breeding trials has been phenotyped for heartwood properties (Milestone M10 Workplan SWP-WP130). The results were comparable to the assessment of the previous E. globoidea trials at Avery and Atkinson. The data has been loaded into the NZDFI Katmandoo database.
The work has shown that heartwood traits in this E. globoidea trial were under genetic control and families with more and better heartwood have been identified.
Analysis of the combined data for the 3 breeding trials is currently underway in order to identify GxE interactions as well as investigate if certain topographic features correlate to heartwood properties.
