Abstract:
Pollen contamination causes major losses to genetic improvement from selection and breeding of "plus' trees in conifer seed orchards. Genetic losses arise by the influx of "wild' conspecific pollen into seed orchards and its deleterious fertilization of superior genetic lines. The physical processes of pollen liberation, dispersal, and deposition are described. -from Authors [Journal; In English]
