The tropical tree breeding sector has fallen behind in genomic breeding not due to a lack of resources but rather a limited understanding and an underdeveloped genomic breeding pipeline. While marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been the preferred method for incorporating genomic data into breeding programs, it primarily targets major genes, overlooking minor gene effects. This limitation makes MAS less effective for enhancing quantitative traits such as heartwood content. The primary goal of statistical methodologies using whole-genome information is to predict promising candidates for breeding advancement/commercialization while efficiently managing resources such as land, labor, and, most critically, time. Given the long rotation period of forest tree crops, the ability to identify, select, and modify genotypes with high heritability for economically valuable traits within a shorter timeframe marks a significant advancement in breeding. This book provides comprehensive guidelines on leveraging genomic data, including pathogenomics, to breed resilient, future-ready trees and manage populations effectively. To reinforce these guidelines, the book presents case studies on species such as Tectona grandis, Santalum album, Casuarina, Shorea, Artocarpus, tropical and sub-tropical pines, and tropical fruit trees. Additionally, the book explores broader applications of genetic data, including timber tracing and the conservation of germplasm while minimizing genetic redundancy. This book will be a valuable resource for tropical tree breeders and researchers, equipping them with the methods and tools needed to adopt advanced genomic breeding. Additionally, students and scholars will benefit from the comprehensive information it provides, enhancing their understanding of modern breeding techniques. 606 $aForests and forestry 606 $aEcological genetics 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aForestry 606 $aEcological Genetics 606 $aPlant Genetics 615 0$aForests and forestry. 615 0$aEcological genetics. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 14$aForestry. 615 24$aEcological Genetics. 615 24$aPlant Genetics. 676 $a634.9 676 $a577.3 702 $aElias$b Ani A.$f1981-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRamasamy$b Yasodha$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911001459803321 996 $aGenomics Based Approaches for Tropical Tree Improvement and Conservation$94377616 997 $aUNINA
