Resistance to Cronartium fusiforme is inherited in slash pine progeny from nursery tests, indicating genetic potential.
Heritability estimates from both open- and control-pollinated progenies of Pinus elliottii suggest viable breeding methods.
Results highlight potential for developing rust-resistant strains through selective breeding techniques.
Understanding the genetic basis of resistance may support future forest management and conservation efforts.

Implication

Analysis shows genetic resistance to rust in slash pine, suggesting enhanced breeding strategies.

Abstract

Heritability of resistance to Cronartium fusiforme has been demonstrated in nursery tests of open- and control-pollinated progenies of Pinus elliottii.
