Abstract
Because of their high growth capacity, intensive gas exchange metabolism, easy cutting propagating posibilities and economic importance, poplar (Populus) clones have been frequently used as the experimental material in numerous gas exchange studies. Photosynthetic and morphological characteristics of several poplar clones have extensively been studied by Nelson et al. (1982) a.o., while biochemical characteristics have been examined for this species by Dickmann et al. (1975) as well as by many others.
