Year after year, there are alarming data concerning the excessive release of greenhouse
gases into the atmosphere, especially CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels. In this context …

In forest tree breeding programs, open-pollinated families are frequently used to estimate
genetic parameters and evaluate genetic merit of individuals. However, the presence of …

Roupala montana var. brasiliensis is a timber tree species native to the Cerrado and Atlantic
Forest areas of Brazil. The wood was exploited for international markets, but there is no …

Background The analysis of genetic diversity of protected plant species can greatly support
conservation efforts. Plantago maxima Juss. ex Jacq. is a perennial species distributed …

Worldwide, the significant fragmentation of tropical forests has resulted in the isolation of
tree populations; this in turn has affected genetic diversity due to increases in inbreeding …

The aims of this study were to investigate the intrapopulation spatial genetic structure (SGS)
of a preserved Swietenia macrophylla population in a managed forest in Southwestern …

Eucalyptus nitens is a cold-tolerant eucalypt that is native to Eastern Australia. Pure E. nitens
as well as its hybrids, such as Eucalyptus grandis× Eucalyptus nitens, is propagated …

Selfing or mating between related individuals can lead to inbreeding depression (ID), which
can influence the survival, growth and evolution of populations of tree species. As selective …

To better understand the genetic variability among and within Eucalyptus grandis
populations introduced in Brazil, we use microsatellite loci to investigate the mating system …
