In this study, 115 Populus nigra L. collected from Europe were used as materials. They were detected for SNPs of genes linked with lignin and holocellulose (4CL, PAL and CesA2) by TaqMan technology and correlations between SNPs and wood properties (the wood speciely gravity, fiber length, fiber width, microfibre angle, lignin, holocellulose content and a-Cellulose content) were also studied.

F2 population was derived from a cross between the female ZH3 and the male ZH1 (ZH3, ZH1 were selected from F1 individuals derived from the cross of Populus deltoides with P. cathayana, produced by HUANG Dong-Sen in 1973).
