INVESTIGATIONS ON THE TREE BREEDING OF POPLARS AND OTHER FAST GROWING SPECIES

Objective



POPLARS, P.DELTOIDES AND P.NIGRA GENOTYPES WILL BE SELECTED FOR SETTING UP BREEDING POPULATIONS, SELECTION BEING BASED ON RESISTANCE TO MAIN DISEASES,GROWTH RATE AND WOOD QUALITY. IN VIEW OF THE GRADUAL REDUCTION OF NATIVE POPULATIONS, P.NIGRA P.ALBA AND P.TREMULA GENOTYPES WILL BE COLLECTED, TO SET UP GENETIC RESERVES.

EUCALYPTUS. A SEED COLLECTION FROM COLD-RESISTANT SPECIES IN NATIVE AREAS WILL BE CARRIED OUT AND A BREEDING PROGRAM FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HYBRIDS OF E.DALRYMPLEANA E.VIMINALIS AND E.BICOSTATA WILL BE OUTLINED.
MICROPROPAGATION TECHNIQUES WILL BE DEVELOPED.

PINES. SELECTION OF P.RADIATA PLUS TREES IN EXISTING PLANTATIONS WILL BE SELECTED AND THE SEEDS COLLECTED. SEEDLINGS ARBORETA WILL BE ESTABLISHED FOR THE FOLLOWING INTER-AND INTRA-FAMILY SELECTION OF A POPULATION OF PARENT TREES, WHICH WILL BE BASED ON PROGENY TESTS. FOR THE OTHER PINES, ON 1-2 YEARS OLD SEEDLINGS, INTER - AND INTRA-POPULATIONS VARIATION AS ALSO PROGENIES PERFORMANCE WILL BE INVESTIGATED. AN ANALYSIS OF GENOTYPE-ENVIRONMENT RELATIONSHIP AND OF GENETIC VARIANCE AND HEREDITY WILL BE PERFORMED.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
