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 …

Gametophytic apomixis is a common form of asexual reproduction in plants. Virtually all
gametophytic apomicts are polyploids, and some view polyploidy as a prerequisite for the …

We present a phylogenetic analysis and comparison of structural features of chloroplast
genomes for 39 species of the eucalypt group (genera Eucalyptus, Corymbia, Angophora …

Eucalyptus is the premier paper pulp, short rotation plantation species grown all over the
