    Article: Specificity of SSR loci for Melampsora species on poplars
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Two rust fungi, Melampsora larici populina and Melampsora medusae are common in all poplar growing regions worlwide. M. larici populina is native to Eurasia, while M. medusae is endemic to eastern Unated States on Populus deltoides. Poplar leaf rust (Melampsora sp.) is widely spread disease in our country, and can cause significant growing problems. Race that prevails in our growing region is M. Larici populina. This work initiated the research of population composition, i.e. qualitative participation of Melampsora races in popoluation of black poplars hybrid progenies using molecular methods. When five SSR markers were used the results showed that M. larici populina was found in three tested clones, while only M. medusae was determined in clone I-214.

    Article: Variability of physiological and growth characteristics of white willow (Salix alba L.) clones
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The samples from field experiment on five clones of white willow (Salix alba L.) in the adult phase, was investigated as follows: net photosynthesis and dark respiration, content of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophylls a, b and carotenoids), number and size of stornata and elements of growth (tree diameters and heights). The aim of the research is to determine if there are any relations between these physiological characters and the elements of growth, i.e. if any of them can be utilized in the early selection for growth vigor. The results show that all the characters are characterized by low coefficients of variation, statistically highly significant differences and high coefficients of heritability in a broad sense. As for the net of photosynthesis, the number of stornata on the adaxial and abaxial sides of the leaf are in high correlation with the elements of growth, which indicates that they can be used in the early selection for growth vigor.

    Article: Willow wood (Salix alba) as a raw material for pulp production
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The properties of willow wood (structural-physical and mechanical properties and chemical composition) were investigated to determine the parameters of the technological process of semichemical and sulphate pulp manufacture. The experimental material was willow wood Salix alba cl. 107/65/7. Semichemical and sulphate pulp were obtained in the laboratory. The yield, chemical properties and physical-mechanical properties of the obtained intermediate products intended for paper manufacture, were determined. The properties of poplar wood Populus deltoides Bartr. cl.725, were studied and its pulp production performed with the aim of comparison.
