Globally, Eucalyptus plantations occupy 22 million ha area and is one of the preferred hardwood species due to their short rotation, rapid growth, adaptability and wood properties. In this study, we present results of GWAS in parents and 100 hybrids of Eucalyptus tereticornis × E. grandis using 762 genes presumably involved in wood formation. Comparative analysis between parents predicted 32,202 polymorphic SNPs with high average read depth of 269-562× per individual per nucleotide. Seventeen wood related traits were phenotyped across three diverse environments and GWAS was conducted using 13,610 SNPs. A total of 45 SNP-trait associations were predicted across two locations. Seven large effect markers were identified which explained more than 80% of phenotypic variation for fibre area. This study has provided an array of candidate genes which may govern fibre morphology in this genus and has predicted potential SNPs which can guide future breeding programs in tropical Eucalyptus.

However, it is currently unclear how climate change will affect different species. Therefore, it is urgent to investigate the potential distribution and dynamics of under current and future climate scenarios.

Background: As an efficient and high-quality additive in agriculture and forestry production, silicon (Si) plays an important role in alleviating heavy metal stress and improving plant growth. However, the alleviating effect of aluminum (Al) toxicity by Si in Eucalyptus is still incomplete.
Results: Here, a study was conducted using two Al concentrations (0 and 4.

Understanding how canopy-scale photosynthesis responds to temperature is of paramount importance for realistic prediction of the likely impact of climate change on forest growth. The effects of temperature on leaf-scale photosynthesis have been extensively documented but data demonstrating the temperature response of canopy-scale photosynthesis are relatively rare, and the mechanisms that determine the response are not well quantified. Here, we compared leaf- and canopy-scale photosynthesis responses to temperature measured in a whole-tree chamber experiment and tested mechanisms that could explain the difference between leaf and crown scale temperature optima for photosynthesis.

Article Synopsis
- Kuwayama is a major pest in the citrus industry responsible for spreading Citrus Huanglongbing disease and has developed resistance to chemical insecticides, highlighting the need for environmentally friendly pest management solutions.
- The study evaluated the repellent and insecticidal effectiveness of essential oils from four plant species, finding that eucalyptol had the strongest repellent activity and that all tested essential oils displayed insecticidal properties with varying degrees of efficacy.
- Chemical analysis of the essential oils revealed high concentrations of terpenoids and other compounds, suggesting their potential use as biological alternatives to traditional pesticides.

Relative gene expression analysis through RT-qPCR is an important molecular technique that helps understanding different molecular mechanisms, such as the plant defense response to insect pests. However, the use of RT-qPCR for gene expression analysis can be affected by factors that directly affect the reliability of the results. Among these factors, the appropriate choice of reference genes is crucial and can strongly impact RT-qPCR relative gene expression analyses, highlighting the importance in correctly choosing the most suitable genes for the success of the analysis.
