Abstract:
This study aimed to elucidate the genetic variation patterns of hybrid larch during generational transitions, providing a theoretical basis for targeted genetic improvement and advanced hybrid breeding of pulpwood. Seven hybrid larch families and their progeny from the Qingshan National Larch Elite Seed Base in Linkou County, Heilongjiang Province, were used as experimental materials. Growth traits, wood properties, and pulping performance of both generations were measured and analyzed, and pulp production capacity was calculated accordingly. Significant differences were observed between the F1 and F2 generations across all traits. The F2 generation showed greater genetic stability, though it was more susceptible to environmental factors. The LK3 × LG2 family was identified as elite through principal component analysis (PCA) and membership function analysis. Further analysis of intergenerational data confirmed that the LK5 × LO78-3 family exhibited superior genetic stability across generations, making it an optimal parental source. This study establishes a genetic foundation for the targeted genetic improvement of larch pulpwood, with important implications for advanced hybrid breeding and elite family selection.
