Abstract excerpt
The yield of essential oil in commercially harvested perennial species (e.g. 'Oil Mallee' eucalypts, Tea Trees and Hop) is dependent on complex quantitative traits such as foliar oil concentration, biomass and adaptability. These often show large natural variation and some are highly heritable, which has enabled significant gains in oil yield via traditional phenotypic recurrent selection. Analysis of transcript...
