Abstract
Populus has been developed as a model system for biotechnological research in tree species. It has a relatively small genome, can be easily regenerated in-vitro, and genetically transformed with Agrobacterium strains. Certain genes that cause activation or inactivation of specific hormones could be of interest in terms of understanding plant growth and development. It is also interesting to determine if such genes, when introduced into long-lived tree species, would be stably expressed over a longer period of time.
