    • Abstract
  • Poplars are among the most important deciduous tree species in China. China is replete with natural resources of poplars. Poplars have a number of good characteristics, including fast growth rate, high yield, many uses, easiness of tissue culture and small gene group that make them well suited as a model system for the application of genetic engineering in forest trees. In the last decade, much progress has been made in genetic improvement of poplar species in China. Modern biotechnology is an important tool for genetic improvement in forest trees, and its applications to genetic improvement in poplars, which covers genetic transformation, gene expression, construction of genetic linkage map, QTLs (quantitative trait loci)identification and molecular-assisted selection are reviewed in this paper. At the same time, the existing problems and outlook about the application of modern biotechnology to genetic improvement in forest trees are also discussed.
