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 …

Osmanthus fragrans is an ornamental plant of substantial commercial value, and no genetic
linkage maps of this species have previously been reported. Specific-locus amplified …

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 …

Background Resistance to soil waterlogging stress is an important plant breeding objective
in high rainfall or poorly drained areas across many countries in the world. The present …

Eucalypts are one of the most planted tree genera worldwide, and there is increasing
interest in marker‐assisted selection for tree improvement. Implementation of marker …

Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) provides a robust, high throughput, cost-effective
method to query thousands of sequence polymorphisms in a single assay. Despite the …

Abstract Background Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is cultivated for its cones, the secondary
metabolites of which contribute bitterness, flavour and aroma to beer. Molecular breeding …

Regions of the genome affecting physical and chemical wood properties (quantitative trait
loci (QTL)), as well as growth, were identified using a clonally replicated, outbred F 2 family …

Understanding genome differentiation is important to compare and transfer genomic
information between taxa, such as from model to non-model organisms. Comparative …

Foliar fungal pathogens from the genus Mycosphaerella affect eucalypts in natural forests
and plantations worldwide. QTL analysis was conducted to dissect the genetic control of …
