Table 2.

Types and frequency of the different errors found among the individuals and stages analyzed.

Stage % of 112 problematic cell lines Diagnostic of error Likely cause
Controlled crosses 43.7 Correct mother/wrong father Pollen contamination
Controlled crosses 21.4 Wrong mother and sometimes wrong father Misidentification of parental trees in the seed orchard
Somatic embryogenesis laboratory, cutting production or planting 30.2 Correct embryogenic tissue in cryobanks, but errors found among trees in the field Misidentification of the material
Cryobanks 4.8 Wrong embryogenic tissue, but correct trees planted in the field Misidentification of the embryogenic tissue

The percentage is the proportion of the 112 cell lines identified as problematic.
