Previously the team has developed a prototype for the study of wood quality composition in Norway spruce. The prototype will be tested in operational plantations belonging to Skogforsk (breeding center). The student will also learn to conduct genomic analysis by combining the data obtained with the prototype on wood quality and DNA information to identify genomic regions of potential value in tree breeding for wood quality.
