Power of microsatellite markers for fingerprinting and parentage analysis in Eucalyptus grandis breeding populations
Article Abstract:
The genetic analysis of 192 unrelated individuals of an elite breeding population of Eucalyptus grandis (Hill ex Maiden) with a selected set of six highly polymorphic microsatellite markers developed for species of the genus Eucalyptus is reported. The high degree of multiallelism and the clear and simple codominant Mendelian inheritance of the set of microsatellites used provide a powerful system for uniquely identifying Eucalyptus individuals for fingerprinting purposes and parentage testing.

Maternal inheritance of mitochondria in Eucalyptus globulus
Article Abstract:
Mitochondrial inheritance in plant species in which mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) will be used as a source of molecular markers is verified. The results constitute the first report of mitochondrial inheritance in the family Myrtacease.
