Project
breeding of new willow clones for short rotation plantations
Intra- and interspecific breeding of willow with the objective to get new productive clones for short rotation coppice with resistance to willow rust and drought stress tolerance
The project aims at the selection of productive willow clones with new genetic basis for short rotation coppice on sites with sandy soils and low ground-water table that are distinguished by resistance to willow rusts as well as tolerance to drought stress. The basic material for crossings are parental clones of the species Salix daphnoides, S. purpurea, S. viminalis, S. aquatica, S. humboltiana and S. schwerinii characterized before regarding growth and resistance.
Background and Objective
new clonal material of Genus Salix for short rotation
Approach
crossing of preselcted clones, selction, investigation of rust sensivity / development of molecular marker for identification of rust races
Data and Methods
plant tests, molecular analyses
Results
resistant clonal lines
