More Information
  • Populus tomentosa
    was crossed with P. tremuloidis
    , P. grandidentata
    , P. alba
    ×P. grandidentata
    and P. alba
    ×Ulmus pumila
    in order to maintain its rapid growth and high wood quality and improve its resistance to cold. Two methods were used to increase the germination rate from 1. 5% to 41. 1% and the remaining rate from 1. 7% to 44. 2%. Forty crossing combinations were conducted and 2 744 hybrid seedlings were obtained. MX4
    ×P. grandidentata
    (G-1-58), MX3
    ×P. tremuloidis
    (T-44-60), MX2
    ×P. tremuloidis
    (l-13-87-37) and MX2
    ×(P. alba
    ×P. grandidentata
    ) were regarded as superior combinations after analysis and selection. Thirty seedlings of these combinations and 11 triploid seedlings identified by counting their chromosomes were selected as super plants.
