Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center
Research Work Unit NRS-14
Our research mission
is to develop genetic, molecular, and tissue culture technologies and forest and nursery management guidelines for improvement of central hardwood forest productivity. more>>
Our Research Areas
We are :
Developing hardwood (oak and walnut) molecular markers for use in determination of genetic quality and population structure of current natural forests and plantations, and quantitative genes in superior hardwood trees. more>>
Developing vegetative and tissue culture propagation technologies for use in genomics research and mass propagation systems for superior trees. more>>
Developing nursery guides for production of quality seedlings and forest management guides for regeneration and reforestation of degraded agricultural land and riparian zones. more>>
Developing breeding and selection programs for black walnut, black cherry and northern red oak. more>>
