Abstract
The improvement of Populus L. in France has been directed towards the selection of species and hybrids belonging to the Leuce Section (Populus alba, P.tremula and P.tremuloides). These hybrids are well suited to large scale planting in hydromorphic forest soils. However, these hybrids are highly susceptible to Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a pathogenic soil bacterium. The ability to induce galls and to regenerate plants from cells suggest that poplars may be an useful model for genetic engineering.
