Breeding trees resistant to insects and diseases: putting theory into application (2017, background): “In addition, commercial plantations of fast-growing exotic tree species such as eucalyptus are also now under increasing threat from pathogens and insects (Alfenas et al. 2012; Wingfield et al. 2008, 2013).”
Increasing numbers and intercontinental spread of invasive insects on eucalypts (2016, unknown): “Genetic engineering and marker assisted breeding also offers promising avenues in this regard (Wingfield et al. 2013; Ledford 2014; Myburg et al. 2014).”
Pathogens on the Move: A 100-Year Global Experiment with Planted Eucalypts (2017, unknown): “This implies that the pathogens are being moved with the germplasm used to establish these plantations, and this theory is supported by molecular evidence (Wingfield et al. 2013, Jimu et al. 2015).”
The interactions of climate, spacing and genetics on clonal Eucalyptus plantations across Brazil and Uruguay (2017, background): “Besides these abiotic factors, exotic pests and diseases that harm Eucalyptus plantations have been increasingly reported in South America in the last decade with damages levels depending on genotypes and climate (Wingfield et al., 2013).”
