Post doctoral researcher in ECOPHYSIOLOGY Within the project: High and sustainable biomass production of Salix: bridging molecular genetics, ecophysiology and plant breeding
The overall aim of this project is to develop breeding tools for a rapid improvement of Salix. The focus will be on developing molecular makers, which will provide a basis for accelerated breeding through early selection and recombination of interesting genotypes. Genetic linkage maps will be developed in order to study the genetics behind resistance, tolerance and growth traits. Appropriate characters will be identified which are simple to use for screening in large breeding populations. Genetic makers stable in different environments and in different genetic materials will be tested in breeding populations to study the effect of maker-aided selection.
