The selection of ideotypes combining high biomass production, high water use efficiency
(WUE) and adequate wood properties is a major challenge in improving forest trees for …

Genetic variation and co-variation among the key pulpwood selection traits for Eucalyptus
globulus were estimated for a range of sites in Portugal, with the aim of improving genetic …

The unique adaptation of Eucalyptus benthamii to low temperatures coupled to fast growth
and versatile wood quality has made it a valued plantation species in frost-prone areas …

Abstract The Eucalyptus dunnii Maiden is an outstanding species for growth and wood
quality traits. However, important wood quality traits for pulp and paper production are …

Genetic and phenotypic parameters of growth and wood density were calculated for two
open-pollinated progeny trials of Tasmanian Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus ssp. globulus) …

Genomic selection (GS) can substantially reduce breeding cycle times in forest trees
compared to traditional breeding cycles. Practical implementation of GS in tree breeding …

Key message Growth and wood chemical properties are important pulpwood traits. Their
narrow-sense heritability ranged from 0.03 to 0.49 in Eucalyptus urophylla× E. tereticornis …

Genomic selection (GS) is poised to revolutionize eucalypt tree improvement by shortening
breeding cycles and increasing selection intensities. This could be particularly valuable for …

A base breeding population of 13,000 trees from about 300 Eucalyptus nitens families of
open-pollinated origin in 6 provenances of native forest stands, was established in 8 tests …

We report a genomic selection (GS) study of growth and wood quality traits in an outbred F 2
hybrid Eucalyptus population (n= 768) using high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism …
