| Abstract:
Hybridization were carried out between Platanus orientalis trees and clones of P. occidentalis tolerant to Ceratocystis fimbriata. An improved screening test was performed in Spring 1997 on a thousand of the 2-year-old hybrids obtained. High variability was noted and 80% of the plants died. The surviving trees will be further tested and classified. | |
