Abstract

Investigations into the usefulness of triploid aspen²) in tree improvement work began with the Swedish discovery of a clone of large European aspen (Populus tremula L.) by NILSSON-EHLE (1936) and the determination by MÜNTZING (1936) that these trees possessed three sets of chromosomes. Subsequent intensive searching by JOHNSSON (1940, 1955) resulted in the location of a number of additional triploid individuals in Sweden.
