Accuracy of dominant markers for estimation of relatedness and heritability in an experimental stand of Prosopis alba (Leguminosae)

The estimation of genetic components of phenotypic variance is based on the resemblance between relatives. In natural populations of most forest tree species without genealogical information, a possible alternative approach is the use of relatedness estimates obtained indirectly from molecular marke...
