Genetic diversity provides the essential basis for the adaptation and resilience of tree
species to environmental stress and change. The genetic conservation of tree species is an …

Trees are key ecosystem engineers. Many analyses of the genetic diversity of forest trees
over substantial parts of their distributional ranges are appearing. These studies are of …

Hybrids are broadly used in plant breeding and accurate estimation of variance components
is crucial for optimizing genetic gain. Genome-wide information may be used to explore …

Background In a context of climate change, phenotypic plasticity provides long-lived
species, such as trees, with the means to adapt to environmental variations occurring within …

Eucalyptus urophylla (Timor mountain gum) is an economically important plantation species
that occurs naturally in a series of disjunct populations on the volcanic slopes of seven …

We developed a quantitative and association genetic study with Eucalyptus urophylla using
a progeny trial. Based on a sample of 831 trees distributed in 84 half-sib families whose …

Higher levels of genetic diversity were reported among the central populations of many
mangrove species (Avicennia, Rhizophora, Bruguiera, Ceriops, Xylocaprus and Sonneratia) …

In forest tree genetic improvement, multi-trait genomic selection (GS) may have advantages
in improving the accuracy of the genotype estimation and shortening selection cycles. For …

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 …

Genetic parameters for growth, stem straightness, pilodyn penetration, relative bark
thickness and survival were estimated in a base-population of five open-pollinated …
