Abstract

Life, in all its phases, is the dominion of genetics. This, in turn, is one of the most powerful natural forces and one of the newest sciences of today. The rapid development of that science has paced in hands a valuable instrument which enables to intervene in and to influence the capacity for reproduction of plants and animals and modify them to own needs. Individual tree differences within a species are the result of gene mutation, genetic recombinations, and modifications by the environment (6). Therefore variation among individual can simply be expressed by the equation: Phenotype = Genotype + Environment
