WP1 - Assays of Biodiversity
Tasks
- Establishment of a European provenance / progeny trial
- Evaluation of existing provenance/ progeny trials
- Genetic diversity
- Gene flow studies
- Hybridisation studies
We will quantify the extent of natural hybridisation of Fraxinus excelsior and F. angustifolia. by using six RAPD markers and chloroplast markers.
WP2 - Increasing efficiency in propagating selected material
Tasks
- Cuttings / rejuvenation
- Micropropagation / somatic embryogenesis
- Biochemical indicators for propagation
- Reproductive biology
