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
world. Genetic improvement programs integrating molecular marker tools are in progress in …

Previous molecular phylogenetic analyses have resolved the Australian bloodwood
eucalypt genus Corymbia (~ 100 species) as either monophyletic or paraphyletic with …

Worldwide, castor (Ricinus communis L.) is used as a major industrial nonedible oilseed
crop due to its unique oil component, ricinoleic acid. Despite the high demand, traditional …

The genus Alcantarea comprises near 30 species endemic to rocky outcrops from eastern
Brazil. Most species are ornamental and several are threatened due to habitat loss and over …

Background Species delimitation in closely related plant taxa can be challenging because
(i) reproductive barriers are not always congruent with morphological differentiation,(ii) use …

Abstract Eucalypts (Myrtaceae tribe Eucalypteae) are currently placed in seven genera.
Traditionally, Eucalyptus was defined by its operculum, but when phylogenies placed …

DNA barcoding relies on short and standardized gene regions to identify species. The
agricultural and horticultural applications of barcoding such as for marketplace regulation …
