Somatic Hybridization in Populus Species (Poplars)

Medicinal and Aromatic Plants IX

“…Numerous studies have been conducted on various in vitro aspects ofpoplars (see Douglas 1989;Sellmer and McCown 1989;Park and Son 1994;Chupeau and Chupeau 1996).…”

Plant Protoplasts and Genetic Engineering VII

“…In addition, effective protoplast culture and selection schemes in vitro would secure exploration of new hybrid combinations through somatic hy- Villar et al 1986 bridization (Park and Son 1994). It has to be kept in mind that, in spite of natural propensity to hybridize among poplars, some hybrids have been consistently impossible to realise, as is the case for P. alba and P. nigra (Villar et al 1986).…”
