Quantitative trait locus analysis of growth and wood density in an interspecific pseudo-backcross population of Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla
Background F1 hybrids of E. grandis and E. urophylla are commonly grown for pulp and paper production in clonal plantations in tropical and subtropical regions. Improving tree growth [1]and wood quality [2]are important objectives in eucalypt breeding programmes. The efficiency of selection for these traits can be enhanced by molecular breeding approaches enabled by high-throughput, genome-wide...
متن کاملBiotech MERCOSUR project: an integrated genotyping and phenotyping platform of Eucalyptus germplasm for mapping purposes
Background The Biotech MERCOSUR project (85% founded by the European Union) launched in January 2009 and finished in December 2010. The general objective was to establish a regional scientific-technological network to develop a genotyping and phenotyping platform useful for the improvement of Eucalyptus in the region. Two advanced genomic strategies (genetic and association mapping) were applie...
متن کاملInvestigating the molecular underpinnings underlying morphology and changes in carbon partitioning during tension wood formation in Eucalyptus.
Tension wood has distinct physical and chemical properties, including altered fibre properties, cell wall composition and ultrastructure. It serves as a good system for investigating the genetic regulation of secondary cell wall biosynthesis and wood formation. The reference genome sequence for Eucalyptus grandis allows investigation of the global transcriptional reprogramming that accompanies ...
متن کاملGenetic dissection of transcript, metabolite, growth and wood property traits in an F2 pseudo-backcross pedigree of Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla
Background E. grandis is used extensively for the production of pulp and paper due to its rapid growth, good form and ease of vegetative propagation. E. urophylla exhibits tolerance to fungal diseases that limit the growth of E. grandis in tropical and subtropical regions. Interspecific hybrids of these two species are, therefore, commonly used to produce fast-growing, disease tolerant hybrids ...
متن کاملGenetic control of Eucalyptus urophylla and E. grandis resistance to canker caused by Chrysoporthe cubensis
Chrysophorte cubensis induced canker occurs in nearly all tropical and subtropical regions where eucalypts are planted, causing losses in both wood quality and volume productivity, especially so in the warmer and more humid regions of Brazil. The wide inter and intra-specific genetic variability of resistance to canker among Eucalyptus species facilitates the selection of resistant plants. In t...
