Résumé :

Tree breeding is a slow process when compared to annual crop breeding because of the long generation times typical for trees and the fact that quality traits are only visible at maturity. Nowadays, molecular biology can significantly accelerate tree improvement by identifying genes responsible for desirable traits and by controlling their expression by gene engineering. Potential targets for tree improvement are wood quality, tree architecture and development, sterility, and resistance to pests, diseases and herbicides. The main achievements obtained in these different fields are presented.
