A framework for community and ecosystem genetics: from genes to ecosystems

This framework could allow us to understand, for the first time, the genetic basis of ecosystem processes, and the effect of such phenomena as climate change and introduced transgenic organisms on entire communities.

The genome of Eucalyptus grandis

Of 36,376 predicted protein-coding genes, 34% occur in tandem duplications, the largest proportion thus far in plant genomes, which shows the highest diversity of genes for specialized metabolites such as terpenes that act as chemical defence and provide unique pharmaceutical oils.

Eucalypt genetics and genecology

Glacial refugia and reticulate evolution: the case of the Tasmanian eucalypts.

Maternally inherited chloroplast DNA reveals a long-term persistence of eucalypts in southeastern Tasmanian refugia, coupled with introgressive hybridization involving many species, supporting the hypothesis that changes in distribution of interfertile species during the Quaternary have promoted reticulate evolution in EucalyPTus.

EXPLORATION OF THE EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS GENE POOL

Study of the variation in nuclear microsatellites and the lignin biosynthesis gene CCR confirm the complex, spatially structured nature of the native gene pool of E. globulus, and indicate that this important eucalypt gene pool is at the threshold of a new understanding.

Development and Characterisation of Microsatellite Loci in Eucalyptus globulus (Myrtaceae)

Twelve E. globulus microsatellite loci were developed for fingerprinting and future studies in genome mapping, gene flow and genetic diversity, and were robust, amplifying in other Eucalyptus species, Corymbia and Angophora.

Progress in Myrtaceae genetics and genomics: Eucalyptus as the pivotal genus

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, to find candidate gene-based association genetics have successfully found marker–trait associations for wood and fiber traits.

PLANT GENETICS AFFECTS ARTHROPOD COMMUNITY RICHNESS AND COMPOSITION: EVIDENCE FROM A SYNTHETIC EUCALYPT HYBRID POPULATION

It is argued that hybridization has important community‐level consequences and that the genetic variation present in hybrid zones can be used to explore the genetic‐based mechanisms that structure communities.

Interspecific hybridization of Eucalyptus: key issues for breeders and geneticists

A key to hybrid selection is the rapid development and testing of large populations and application of high selection intensities and eventually this approach must be linked with more formal breeding strategies.

Higher-level relationships among the eucalypts are resolved by ITS-sequence data

The results of the study indicate that Angophora and Corymbia form a well-supported clade that is highly differentiated from Eucalyptus s.s.s and further work is required to confirm the phylogenetic positions of the monotypic subgenera Alveolata, Cruciformes, Acerosae and Cuboidea.
