The Genetic Improvement of Black Walnut for Timber Production

  • Chapter
Plant Breeding Reviews

Abstract

The genus Juglans is an economically important group grown for timber and nuts. The breeding of walnut species has been reviewed by Forde (1975), but breeding for nut production in Persian walnut (Juglans regia) was stressed.
