Genetic origin of two Italian provenances I11 and I15 compared to possible eight American IUFRO provenances of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) from North America
In IUFRO experimental plots of 1969–1970, two 'Italian' provenances, I11 and I15, of unknown genetic origins, have consistently exhibited remarkable...
