The breeding of forest trees is only a few decades old, and is a much more complicated,
longer, and expensive endeavor than the breeding of agricultural crops. One breeding cycle …

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 …

Genomic selection (GS) involves selection decisions based on genomic breeding values
estimated as the sum of the effects of genome-wide markers capturing most quantitative trait …

Genomic selection (GS) is expected to cause a paradigm shift in tree breeding by improving
its speed and efficiency. By fitting all the genome‐wide markers concurrently, GS can …

Eucalyptus is the most widely planted hardwood crop in the tropical and subtropical world
because of its superior growth, broad adaptability and multipurpose wood properties …

Transferable DNA markers are essential for breeding and genetics. Grapevine (Vitis)
breeders utilize disease resistance alleles from congeneric species~ 20 million years …

Background A number of molecular marker technologies have allowed important advances
in the understanding of the genetics and evolution of Eucalyptus, a genus that includes over …

The biomass demand to fuel a growing global bio-based economy is expected to
tremendously increase over the next decades, and projections indicate that dedicated …

A set of over 8000 Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers was tested for its utility in
high-resolution population and phylogenetic studies across a range of Eucalyptus taxa …

Genetic maps are key tools in genetic research as they constitute the framework for many
applications, such as quantitative trait locus analysis, and support the assembly of genome …
