Objective
The objective is to use and further develop molecular tools for determining the genetic identity of polyphonic and introgressed populations. The use of complementary approaches on the same samples will enable accurate appraisal of the usefulness of nuclear and cytoplasm DNA markers in
(I) genotyping polyploidindividuals;
(ii) revealing hybrid identity; and
(iii) estimating the extent of introgression in natural stands and germplasm collections. Willow species and hybrids at a European scale will be used as a case study. The deliverables are at both the level of the molecular tools and their performance and at theIandscape restoration level. Willows dominate the landscape in many riverineecosystems, valleys, meadows and act as green screens in agricultural landscapes. The evaluation of these techniques in hybridisation- related research will allow different end-users to apply this knowledge.
