Intermediate report on genetically modified poplar lines with effective performances on metal uptake and endophyte colonization

This report will result from Task 3.3 and will describe the intermediate activities and results of genetic modifications performed on poplar lines and the effects of these modifications on tolerance to metals and organic pollutants and capacity for colonization with selected bacterial and fungal mycorrhizal or endophyte strains. The data from Task 3.3 will be used in Task 2.2 and Task 4.2.
