Objective
The aim of this programme is to provide new commercial poplar clones at each generation by multigeneration recurrent reciprocal breeding which also permits the increase of the genetic quality of the breeding programme.
The programme will use the following methodologies:
early testing, based on a high juvenile mature genetic correlation;
indirect testing using genetic markers, based on a high genetic correlation between presence or concentration of biochemical compounds on the one hand and economic traits on the other hand;
hybridization of high value (already commercialized) clones to induce a reorganization of favourable genes;
embryo rescue to increase the number of siblings of difficult but promising crossings;
production of double haploids to obtain rapidly homozygous clones which would classically need more than ten inbreeding generations to be obtained;
gene transfer to produce genotypes impossible to achieve with classical breeding.
The programme consists of:
collection of base populations;
controlled hybridization (short and long term breeding, indirect selection) to provide larger quantities of quality clones of poplar in a much shorter and less expensive manner (shortening breeding programmes).

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
