Genome-wide analysis highlights genetic admixture in exotic germplasm resources of Eucalyptus and unexpected ancestral genomic composition of interspecific hybrids.

Abstract excerpt

Eucalyptus is an economically important genus comprising more than 890 species in different subgenera and sections. Approximately twenty species of subgenus Symphyomyrtus account for 95% of the world's planted eucalypts. Discrimination of closely related eucalypt taxa is challenging, consistent with their recent phylogenetic divergence and occasional hybridization in nature. Admixture, misclassification or...
