The aim of this work was to improve the understanding dry matter losses (DML) that occur in wood chips during initial phase storage outdoor piles. For purpose, a laboratory scale chamber developed and investigated regarding its ability recreate conditions undergo storage. Three trials with poplar Max-4 (Populus maximowiczii Henry × Populus nigra L.) were performed for 6–10 weeks under controlle...

Late-embryogenesis-abundant proteins (LEA) typically accumulate to high levels during seed dehydration and have an important role in the plant response abiotic stresses. Transgenic hybrid poplars of 9-year-old TaLEA lines showed adaptation drought saline–alkali conditions. The exogenous gene was expressed normally, T-DNA insertion sites were identified on different chromosomes. Improving surviv...

Spatial distributions of leaf characteristics relevant to photosynthesis were compared within high-density coppice canopies of Populus spp. of contrasting genetic origin. We studied three clones representative of the range in growth potential, leaf morphology, coppice and canopy structure: Clone Hoogvorst (Hoo) (Populus trichocarpa Torr. & Gray x Populus deltoides Bartr. & Marsh), Clone Fritzi ...
