The status of genomics and genetics research in the Myrtaceae, a large family of
dicotyledonous woody plants, is reviewed with Eucalyptus as the focal genus. The family …

Due to their long reproductive cycles and the time to expression of mature traits, marker-
assisted selection is particularly attractive for tree breeding. In this review, we discuss …

Lignotubers are swollen woody structures located at the root-shoot transition zone and
contain numerous dormant buds and starch reserves. This structure enables the plant to …

Many plantation eucalypts are difficult to propagate from cuttings, and their rooted cuttings
often possess very few adventitious roots. We microscopically examined the stem anatomy …

Key message QTLs were identified for traits assessed on field-grown grafted grapevines.
Root number and section had the largest phenotypic variance explained. Genetic control of …

Background The genetic basis of growth traits has been widely studied in forest trees.
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) studies have highlighted the presence of both stable and …

Vegetative propagation enables the multiplication of plants that are genetically identical to
the original. Hardwood cuttings have a low cost advantage and are used widely for the …

Eucalyptus is the premier paper pulp, short rotation plantation species grown all over the
world. Genetic improvement programs integrating molecular marker tools are in progress in …

The eucalypt Corymbia torelliana× C. citriodora is planted widely in India, Brazil and
Australia although plantation establishment has been limited by inadequate seed supply …

Abstract Key Message The advantages of F1 hybrid progenies of Fraxinus mandshurica and
Fraxinus americana were analyzed under drought conditions in the field and greenhouse …
