Abstract:

25 clones 6 trees from each clone were sampled (aged 15 years) from clone test stand of Populus tomentosa. Wetwood proportion of every tree was calculated, their inheritance and variation among clones were studied. The high value of clones repeatability of wetwood proportion (0.749) indicated that the character was under genetic control, and selection could be conducted effectively between clones. Whereas correlation analysis showed that no significantly correlation between wetwood proportion and lignin content and height, general significantly negative correlation between wetwood proportion and growth traits(diameter at breast height and volume ) were discovered.

Key words: Populus tomentosa, clones, wetwood proportion, inheritance analysis
