The Eucalyptus genome integrative explorer (EucGenIE): a resource for Eucalyptus genomics and transcriptomics

چکیده
Background The fast growth and good wood properties of Eucalyptus tree species and hybrids make them excellent renewable sources of fiber for pulp and paper production, and woody biomass for bioenergy production. Our research is aimed at understanding the genetic regulation of wood formation in eucalypts, with a focus on transcriptomes, regulatory sequences and gene families involved in secondary cell wall biosynthesis.

Advancing Eucalyptus Genomics: Cytogenomics Reveals Conservation of Eucalyptus Genomes
The genus Eucalyptus encloses several species with high ecological and economic value, being the subgenus Symphyomyrtus one of the most important. Species such as E. grandis and E. globulus are well characterized at the molecular level but knowledge regarding genome and chromosome organization is very scarce. Here we characterized and compared the karyotypes of three economically important spec...
متن کاملAn integrated database of Eucalyptus spp. genome project
Background The species of the genus Eucalyptus are the most planted for the fiber crop in the world. They are mainly utilized for timber, pulp and paper production. Brazil, helped by the favorable weather conditions, appears as a big producer and exporter of eucalyptus derivates. In 2002, the Brazilian network research of the Eucalyptus Genome (Genolyptus) was established with the goal of integ...
متن کاملUncovering the defence responses of Eucalyptus to pests and pathogens in the genomics age.
Long-lived tree species are subject to attack by various pests and pathogens during their lifetime. This problem is exacerbated by climate change, which may increase the host range for pathogens and extend the period of infestation by pests. Plant defences may involve preformed barriers or induced resistance mechanisms based on recognition of the invader, complex signalling cascades, hormone si...
متن کاملDevelopment of Eucalyptus tissue culture conditions for improved in vitro plant health and transformability
Background Despite its importance as a widely-planted crop tree, eucalypt species and hybrids are relatively difficult to micropropagate, culture and genetically transform in vitro. Compared to other plant species, few non-commercial laboratories are proficient at Eucalyptus tissue culture and transformation. We have undertaken to establish and transform several eucalypt clones in the laborator...
متن کاملIn vitro shoot organogenesis from Eucalyptus sp. leaf explants
Background In vitro organogenesis is one of the key techniques associated with genetic transformation, as it determines the successful regeneration of transgenic plants after co-cultivation with bacteria. Therefore, the development of efficient regeneration protocols is the most critical step in developing genetic transformation. Protocols have been developed for several species of eucalyptus. ...
