• Genetic control of the operculum and capsule morphology of Eucalyptus globulus 

      Hernandez, Mariano Agustín; Butler, Jakob B.; Ammitzboll, Hans; Weller, James L. ; Vaillancourt, René E.; Potts, Brad M. (Oxford University Press, 2022-07-01)
      The petaline operculum that covers the inner whorls until anthesis and the woody capsule that develops after fertilization are reproductive structures of eucalypts that protect the flower and seeds. Although they are ...
    • Genetic variation in fire recovery and other fire‑related traits in a global eucalypt species 

      Hernandez, Mariano Agustín; Butler, Jakob B.; Ammitzboll, Hans; Freeman, Jules S.; O’Reilly‑Wapstra, Julianne; Vaillancourt, René E.; Potts, Brad M. (Springer, 2022-11-12)
      To understand the potential of forests to adapt to wildfire, we studied the genetic architecture of fire-related structural, damage and recovery traits in a globally important Australian forest tree species, Eucalyptus ...
    • Insights into the evolution of the eucalypt CER1 and CER3 genes involved in the synthesis of alkane waxes 

      Hernandez, Mariano Agustín; Vaillancourt, René E.; Potts, Brad M.; Butler, Jakob B. (Springer, 2024-01-15)
      The genes ECERIFERUM1 (CER1) and ECERIFERUM3 (CER3) encode the biosynthesis of alkane waxes, a key component of the plant cuticle. To study the evolution of CER1 and CER3 in a highly diverse group of eucalypts, we performed ...
