AI Article Synopsis
- Eucalyptus L'Hérit. consists of over 700 species, playing a crucial ecological role in Australia and being significant for global forestry, particularly in solid wood and paper production.
- Genomic research in Eucalyptus has advanced with established families, genetic maps, and extensive EST databases, especially following the sequencing of other plant genomes.
- Current collaborative efforts aim to integrate various genomic projects, paving the way for future research that will utilize the complete sequencing of the Eucalyptus genome.
Article Abstract
Eucalyptus L'Hérit. is a genus comprised of more than 700 species that is of vital importance ecologically to Australia and to the forestry industry world-wide, being grown in plantations for the production of solid wood products as well as pulp for paper. With the sequencing of the genomes of Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa and the recent completion of the first tree genome sequence, Populus trichocarpa, attention has turned to the current status of genomic research in Eucalyptus. For several eucalypt species, large segregating families have been established, high-resolution genetic maps constructed and large EST databases generated. Collaborative efforts have been initiated for the integration of diverse genomic projects and will provide the framework for future research including exploiting the sequence of the entire eucalypt genome which is currently being sequenced. This review summarises the current position of genomic research in Eucalyptus and discusses the direction of future research.

The Ralstonia solanacearum Species Complex (RSSC) is the most significant plant pathogen group with a wide host range. It is genetically related but displays distinct biological features, such as restrictive geography occurrence. The RSSC comprises three species: Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (phylotype I and III), Ralstonia solanacearum (phylotype IIA and IIB), and Ralstonia syzygii (phylotype IV) (Fegan and Prior 2005).

Background And Purpose: Plants are crucial habitats for fungus communities as they provide an appropriate physical environment for the growth and reproduction of the yeast microbiome. Varieties of pathogenic and non-pathogenic yeast could be found in trees. Although species are the most common pathogenic yeasts associated with trees, other yeasts also grow on trees and are critical to human health.

The growing expansion of eucalyptus plantations in Brazil and the impact of exotic pests, such as Gonipterus platensis, demand effective, and sustainable biological control strategies. The aim of this study was to assess the pathogenicity of 10 Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) isolates to neonate Gonipterus platensis larvae, commonly known as the eucalyptus weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) with the specific focus of evaluating their potential to manage this pest while preserving its egg parasitoid, Anaphes nitens. To achieve this, the genomic DNA of the 10 Bt isolates was extracted using the thermal lysis method for molecular characterization of their Cry and Vip proteins.

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens necessitates alternative therapies for treating microbial infections, especially in the oral cavity and upper respiratory tract. Our team has developed Phage Pastilles, a controlled-release formulation containing bacteriophages that target common pathogens, including Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus salivarius, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and E. coli.

Background: Eucalyptus grandis, which was first comprehensively and systematically introduced to China in the 1980s, is one of the most important fast-growing tree species in the forestry industry. However, to date, no core collection has been selected from the germplasm resources of E. grandis based on growth and genetic relationship analysis.
