Collaborative project: Breeding fast growing tree species of the genus Populus, Robinia and Salix for the production of renewable resources in the short rotation. Subproject 2: Breeding, genetic characterisation, and capacity assessment of Populus-poplar and black locust (FastWOOD III)
Project
Project code: TI-FG-08-PID1640, 22000514
Contract period: 01.12.2014
- 31.01.2019
Budget: 1,086,456 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Breeding of fast-growing varieties of the genus Populus, Robinia, and Salix for the production of renewable resources in short rotation coppice plantations. Main objectives are selection, genetic characterisation, testing of resistance, and hybridisation of poplars within the section Populus as well as the cultivation of plants for test plantations. Plus trees and stands of black locust will be selected and tested in short rotation plantations. Basic material for tested reproductive material suitable for short rotation should be approved. Working packages - Building up of clone collections with plus trees and proved parents - Continuation of poplar hybridization with further parent trees to extent number of progenies as basis of breeding progress - Assessment and evaluation of resistance of poplars within the section Populus - Further development of molecular markers for identification, characterisation and species determination - Investigation of resistance against damaging insects - breeding of triploid aspen clones with higher growth performance - selection of progeny stands and trees of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) as basis for new seed orchards - evaluation of existing clonal tests of poplars and willows
