Funded under

• Specific Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Quality of life and management of living resources", 1998-2002

Total cost € 130 968,00

EU contribution € 130 968,00

Coordinated by

THE FINNISH FOREST RESEARCH INSTITUTE

Objective

The molecular regulation of frost hardiness in birch will be investigated by analysing the genes involved in the cold-induced increase in lipid instauration. The impact of changing environmental factors, e.g. UV radiation, will be tested on frost hardiness via their effects on lipid instauration.
