Eucalyptus breeding programs: a proposal for the use of inbred progênies

Background: This review aims to discuss alternatives for obtaining new clones of eucalyptus ( Eucalyptus spp.) with greater efficiency than current methods, as well the feasibility hybrid seeds. The commercial-scale use seeds may reduce implantation costs and bring other advantages forest exploitation. proposal focuses on using inbred progenies (S 1, S 2...S g) improve species. Self-fertilization releases a proportion undesirable alleles hidden in heterozygotes, increasing selection success. Results: From best individuals progenies, full-sibling (FS) will be developed, allowing conduct recurrent programs. must obtained, also from FS evaluations, each selfing generation g x g). Simultaneously conduction inbreeding generations, information gathered aiming implement strategy seeds, such verifying generating double haploid lines looking facilitate large-scale production Conclusion: this research results can serve an initial basis
