Restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) and its derived protocols, such as double digest RADseq (ddRADseq), offer a flexible highly cost-effective strategy for efficient plant genome sampling. This has become one of the most popular genotyping approaches breeding, conservation, evolution studies in model non-model species. However, universal protocols do not always adapt well to Herein, this study reports development an optimized detailed ddRADseq protocol Eucalyptus dunnii,...

Genomic Selection (GS) in tree breeding optimizes genetic gains by leveraging genomic data to enable early selection of seedlings without phenotypic reducing cycle and increasing intensity. Traditional assessments the potential GS forest trees have typically focused on model performance using cross-validation within same generation but evaluating effectively realized predictive ability (RPA) across generations is crucial. This study estimated RPAs for volume growth (VOL), wood density (WD),...

Eucalyptus dunnii is one of the most important species for short-fiber pulp production in regions where other genus are affected by poor soil and climatic conditions. In this context, E. holds promise as a resource to address adapt challenges climate change. Despite its rapid growth favorable wood properties solid products, advancement improvement remains early stages. work, we evaluated performance two single nucleotide polymorphism, (SNP), genotyping methods population genetics analysis...

The genetic diversity of 14 Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl) landraces adapted to an ecosystem alternating flooding and dry conditions was characterized using neutral simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Twelve SSRs located in six chromosomes the Prunus persica reference genome resulted be polymorphic, thus allowing identification all evaluated landraces. Differentiation between individuals moderate high (average shared allele distance (DAS) = 0.64), whereas indices polymorphism...

Aim of study: To analyze the feasibility extrapolating conclusions on wood quality genetic control between different Eucalyptus species, particularly from species with better genomic information, to those less characterized. For this purpose, first step is conservation and cross-transferability microsatellites markers (SSRs) located in candidate genes.Area implanted Argentina coming Australian origins.Materials methods: Twelve validated polymorphic SSRs genes (SSR-CGs) for E. globulus were...

Background In recent years, association mapping studies have been reported for growth and wood quality traits in Eucalyptus (e.g. [1]). One problem with is that they can be sensitive to the presence of population structure. The structure may generate spurious associations between markers leading an elevated false-positive rate [2]). Statistical approaches account include model-based clustering [3], principal component analysis, genomic control linear mixed model approach [4]. Yu et al....

Eucalyptus globulus is the most planted hardwood species for pulpwood in temperate regions. Genomic researches have increased information available DNA sequences public databases and several structural regulatory genes involved cellulose lignin pathways are known. Functional genetic markers, while frequent crop, still scarce forest species. Hence detection validation of SSRs interesting to be used future projects marker-assisted breeding needed. The present study aimed development novel...

Background Eucalypts are the most widely planted hardwood trees in world, occupying globally more than 18 million hectares, as an important source of carbon neutral renewable energy and raw material for pulp, paper solid wood. Intensive planting programs Eucalyptus grandis have been carried out Argentinian Mesopotamia. Linkage maps useful tools quantitative trait loci (QTL) analyses detection. Several QTL growth wood quality developed this genus [1,2] E. interspecific crosses. Improved...

Traditionally, in forest genetic evaluations, the pedigree-based individual-tree mixed model (ABLUP) has been utilized to identify individuals with highest breeding value (BV). The ABLUP is considered a Markov causal as BV of an individual independent all its non-descendants, conditional including parents. Under this model, individual's expressed linear regression on parental BVs, along Mendelian sampling term. availability genome-wide marker panels led development technique known genomic...

Genomic selection (GS) in tree breeding utilizes genomic information to accelerate genetic gains by reducing cycle duration and concurrently minimizing the costs associated with phenotyping. By utilizing predicted values (GEBVs) select young unphenotyped candidates, GS eliminates need wait for phenotypic observation of quantitative traits like yield, which typically take three four years mature Eucalyptus programs. The potential forest trees has been frequently assessed through measures as...
