Abstract

Beech breeding is mostly directed to the conservation of genetic resources, the selection of the corresponding provenances for different sites, enhanced production and trade of planting stock, study of the species evolution development, and the establishment of live archives and seed orchards. The biochemical and molecular analyses based on the selected population and individuals of different beech stands in Serbia concluded that the adaptation and survival at population level are favored by higher genetic diversity whereas at the individual level it is favored by higher degree of heterozygosis. Breeding of beech in Serbia, depending on the current requirements of forestry and on the state of forests, should be performed in two directions: in the direction of improving the natural populations and in the direction of obtaining the new selected beech genotypes and hybrids, which will have superior target characteristics than the existing types. The previous research shows that there are genetic differences between beech populations in Europe and Serbia. This requires the programs of closer research and of directed application of beech genetic variability
