Molecular ecophysiology as tool for the selection of highly stress resistant poplar species for multipurpose forests

Objectif

ESTABLISH addresses the problem of recultivation of land under arid climatic conditions, on eroding and saline soils by reforestations. To enable economically feasible forestation, to recreate favourable microclimatic conditions and for wood production in stressful environments, stress tolerant tree species will be identified in the genus Populous-using combinations of molecular, ecophysiological and morphological markers and by testing these markers in established field plots. New plantations will be implemented and already existing plantations of Quarks and Eucalyptus will be extended. The tools developed by ESTABLISH can be used for conventional and biotechnological breeding programmes. Propagation protocols for genotypes with desired properties and genomic markers will be available for practical use.
