Responses of Populus× euramericana (P. deltoides×P. nigra) clone Adda to increasing copper concentrations
We investigated the effect of high copper (Cu) concentrations on poplar woody cuttings (Populus× euramericana) clone Adda in order to estimate the degree of metal tolerance. Metal accumulation was also investigated to determine where and to what extent Cu is stored within the plant. Plant responses to Cu were determined comparing biomass growth and photosynthetic potential measured at concentra...
متن کاملResponses of Populus deltoides × Populus nigra ( Populus × euramericana ) clone I - 214 to high zinc concentrations
• We hypothesized that poplar can be useful for the extraction of zinc (Zn) from contaminated soils and water. However, the physiological response and the base of tolerance of poplar plants to this heavy metal are little known. • Plants of Populus deltoides × P . nigra ( P. × euramericana ) I-214 clone were grown in glasshouse and treated with three different Zn concentrations (1, 100 and 1000 ...
متن کاملارزیابی متغیرهای مورفولوژیکی و رویشی دو گونه Populus alba L. و Populus nigra L. بهمنظور معرفی صفات مرتبط با رویش درختی (مطالعهی موردی: استانهای کرمانشاه، زنجان و اصفهان)
Morphological traits genetically correlated with wood production have been targeted as an alternative to the indirect selection of Poplar trees for high biomass production. So in this study two Populus species (P. nigra and P. alba) growing in Kermanshah, Zanjan and Esfahan provinces were selected to investigate the relationship between various leaf morphological traits and growth character...
متن کاملThe Populus Superoxide Dismutase Gene Family and Its Responses to Drought Stress in Transgenic Poplar Overexpressing a Pine Cytosolic Glutamine Synthetase (GS1a)
BACKGROUND Glutamine synthetase (GS) plays a central role in plant nitrogen assimilation, a process intimately linked to soil water availability. We previously showed that hybrid poplar (Populus tremula X alba, INRA 717-1B4) expressing ectopically a pine cytosolic glutamine synthetase gene (GS1a) display enhanced tolerance to drought. Preliminary transcriptome profiling revealed that during dro...
متن کاملBarrier to gene flow between two ecologically divergent Populus species, P. alba (white poplar) and P. tremula (European aspen): the role of ecology and life history in gene introgression.
The renewed interest in the use of hybrid zones for studying speciation calls for the identification and study of hybrid zones across a wide range of organisms, especially in long-lived taxa for which it is often difficult to generate interpopulation variation through controlled crosses. Here, we report on the extent and direction of introgression between two members of the "model tree" genus P...
