Main Objectives and Tasks
Main objectives and tasks of the project
Targeted to the scientific and technical community anyhow interested on cork oak
genetic improvement, indirectly useful for genetic research of other forest species, the
HANDBOOK intends to summarise the main discussions and achievements of the
European Union funded projects FAIR 1 CT 95 0202 and Micro Action B7/4100.
The implementation of the projects has been framed by the objectives and tasks
hereafter transcribed from the contract:
Title-"European network for the evaluation of genetic resources of cork oak for
appropriate use in breeding and gene conservation strategies"
General objective of the project:
THE OBJECTIVE IS to promote the establishment of simultaneous provenance and
progeny trials under standardise methodologies, representative from all area of
distribution of cork oak, by means of a network involving 6 European countries.
THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES ARE:
- Selection of provenances and trees in Portugal, France, Spain and Italy under
common report forms for passport data.
- Standardised production (in a nursery in Portugal) of plants. Delivering of the
plants for the establishment field trials in 4 European countries.
- Exchange of germoplasm among participants for (national funded)
complementary studies.
- Databases: Promotion of a data bank for future utilisation on research projects
synthesised in a handbook focusing the genetics of cork oak.
2 Main Objectives and Tasks
Main tasks
Task 1
Selection, identification and characterisation of stands and mother trees; Common
passport report form for each stand and for each tree. Seed collection.
Task 2
2. 1. - Exchange of germoplasm for complementary studies in field, laboratory or
phytotron under national financing - N. The co-ordinator is in charge of delivering the
germoplasm according the requests.
Task 3
Storage of acorns. Plants sowing and lifting for immediate deliver
Task 4
Data bank
Task 6 - Establishment of field trials
Not financed by the concerted action
Task 9 -Handbook
Task 11
Individual labelling of all plants to be delivered by the project to all countries for
field trials establishment.
