Uncertainty in variance effective population size for dioecious crop species: propagation of sex ratio estimation error and implications for germplasm conservation and breeding

Abstract The variance effective population size ( $$N_{e}$$ N e ) framework for dioecious crop species links $$N_{e}$$ N e to the offspring sex ratio ( $$r$$ r ), total offspring sampled ( $$t$$ t ), and the gametic-control regime applied during seed collection or regeneration (V...

Seed morphological screening improves germination efficiency but poorly predicts selfing in Eucalyptus hybrids

Breeding strategies in commercial Eucalyptus plantations have largely relied on crosses among hybrid genotypes, resulting in the recurrent selection of a limited number of superior clones. In this context, the development of inbred lines represents a complementary approach to bro...
