Collaborative project: Development and introduction of biotechnological processes for breeding, production and use of high-performance varieties of selected tree species - Sub-project 1: Development of biotechnological processes (in vitro propagation and conservation) (Larch-Douglas-Fir)
Project
Project code: 22014818
Contract period: 01.01.2019
- 31.12.2020
Budget: 353,626 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: larch, Douglas fir, fir, hybrids, propagation, renewable ressources
The overall objective is to develop a process chain suitable for practical application for clonal mass propagation of high-performance varieties of the selected tree species (hybrid larch, Douglas fir, fir hybrids). The relevant biotechnological process steps are available and should be optimized with regard to their economic efficiency. Extensive field tests serve to select elite clones that are eligible for approval for clone mixtures of the respective species. In the case of hybrid larch, the aim is to put the developed process into practice in a tree nursery company. In order to expand the spectrum of tree species, a clone collection of selected fir hybrids of forestry interest is to be established, just as for hybrid larch and Douglas fir. Sub-project 1 focuses on the optimisation of in vitro process steps and the provision of clonal plant material. Furthermore, the investigations on the suitability of molecular biological strategies for the rejuvenation of adult material will be further investigated and completed.
