  1. Data were obtained from a Populus nigra full-sib family (POP5) grown in two sites in Italy: Cavallermaggiore (CV) and Viterbo (VT). Data were analyzed on cumulative night length (CNL) basis. Relative importance of environment (σ2E), genotype (σ2G), genotype by environment (σ2G×E) and residual (σ2ε) effects on the phenotypic variation (σ2P) are presented together with values of broad-sense heritability at genotypic level (H2gen). Spearman rank coefficients (ρ) were calculated from genotype means in CV and VT. The significance level of differences between the two parents for each trait is indicated as: ns, non-significant; *, P ≤ 0.05; **, P ≤ 0.01; ***, P ≤ 0.001.
