| Research Abstract |
Methods for clonal propagation by tissue culture, callus culture and protoplast culture were established in this research project. The reactions of poplar clones for the stresses of low water potential, salinity and low pH conditions were also investigated.
At first clonal propagation techniques of the poplars growing at the arid district in China was established. This made possible to conserve genetic resources of Chinese poplars which cannot grow in the field condition in Japan in vitro. This made the genetic conservation of temperate poplars possible too. The tolerance abilities for the stresses of low osmotic pressure and salinity and low pH of Populus euphratica, Populus tomentosa, Populus alba cv.pyramidalis X Populus tomentosa and Populus maximowiczii X Populus plantierensis were tested by using in vitro cultured shoots. Populus euphratica showed the highest tolerant for these three types of stress among test poplar clones. I think Populus euphratica has high genetic potential for the breeding of new cultivers for arid region. Finally protoplast culture was tested for these poplars. Successful colony formation was observed and the possibility of the genetic manipulation using protoplast culture was shown.
