The present invention relates to a novel method for the prediction of fibre length and the rapid selection of superior trees for given pulp and paper product lines using a DNA probe. The method comprises the isolation of tree genomic DNA from a hybrid spruce live tissue source hybridization of the , spruce DNA probe to that genomic DNA and the densitometric assessment of the intensity of the hybridization pattern obtained. This determines the precise degree of genetic admixing (or introgression) of the two parent species within the hybrid population. Due to the linear relationship - in the hybrid spruce population examined - between degree of genetic introgression and fibre length …

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 21, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 21, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 21, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
