PhD position in forest genetics with a focus on silver birch flowering and seed production Skogforsk in Sweden

This PhD project focuses on forest genetics and birch breeding , with a particular emphasis on understanding and improving flowering and seed production in silver birch . The student will study how environmental conditions and cultivation treatments influence flowering in young plants and older breeding material, with attention to light conditions, plant development and genetic differences in flowering responses. The research is designed to connect fundamental questions about reproductive develo...
