The selection of drought-tolerant genotypes is globally recognized as an effective strategy to maintain the growth and survival of commercial tree species exposed to future drought periods. New genomic selection tools that reduce the time of progeny trials are required to substitute traditional tree breeding programs. We investigated the genetic variation of water stress tolerance in New Zealand-grown Pinus radiata D. Don using 622 commercially-used genotypes from 63 families. We used quantitative pedigree-based (Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction or ABLUP) and genomic-based (Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction or GBLUP) approaches to examine the heritability estimates associated with water stress tolerance in P. radiata. Tree seedling growth traits, foliar carbon isotope composition (δ13C), and dark-adapted chlorophyll fluorescence (Y) were monitored before, during and after 10 months of water stress. Height growth showed a constant and moderate heritability level, while the heritability estimate for diameter growth and δ13C decreased with water stress. In contrast, chlorophyll fluorescence exhibited low heritability after 5 and 10 months of water stress. The GBLUP approach provided less breeding value accuracy than ABLUP, however, the relative selection efficiency of GBLUP was greater compared with ABLUP selection techniques. Although there was no significant relationship directly between δ13C and Y, the genetic correlations were significant and stronger for GBLUP. The positive genetic correlations between δ13C and tree biomass traits under water stress indicated that intraspecific variation in δ13C was likely driven by differences in the genotype’s photosynthetic capacity. The results show that foliar δ13C can predict P. radiata genotype tolerance to water stress using ABLUP and GBLUP approaches and that such approaches can provide a faster screening and selection of drought-tolerant genotypes for forestry breeding programs.

Stable carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) was evaluated in primitive and cultivated Gossypium barbadense L. Significant differences among cultivated Pima lines were positively associated with the degree of selection for lint yield and heat resistance. A population mean study of a cross between B368, a primitive, uncultivated G. barbadense, and Pima S-6, an advanced line, showed that Δ is probably under genetic control, and could be a suitable selection trait in breeding programs. Eleven uncultivated accessions of primitive G. barbadense of varying origins grown in one environment showed a broad range of Δ values (18.8-20.50), pointing to substantial genetic variation of Δ in the G. barbadense germplasm. A was strongly correlated with stomatal conductance (gs) in the commercial lines, a segregating F2 population of the B368 × Pima S-6 cross, and the collection of uncultivated G. barbadense. This relationship indicates that variation in gs is the main source of variation for Δ in both uncultivated and commercial G. barbadense. The positive correlation between Δ, gs and yield in the commercial Pima lines provides further evidence for selection pressures on higher gs ensuing from selection for higher yield and heat resistance. Selection for higher Δ could increase yield in crops grown in hot, high irradiance, and well-irrigated environments.
