Eucalyptus globulus Breeding

Blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus, E. globulus) is a large tree of the Myrtle family, Eucalyptus, and is a unique tree species in Australia. E. globulus has been introduced to many parts of the world, such as Europe, southern Africa, eastern Asia, and the western United States, due to its low requirements for soil conditions, superior wood properties, and strong wind resistance.

E. globulus has suitable field suitability, and rapid growth is grown in many countries as a high-quality raw material for pulp, paper, and energy, and it has good economic value. It also has excellent resistance to decay and is suitable for shipbuilding and dock lumber. The tree also has a straight trunk, usually growing to 30-50 meters and can be used as a landscape tree, green tree, and plantation tree.

Lifeasible has a strong technical team in plant genetics and molecular technology and is committed to providing the most professional E. globulus breeding services to help you select and breed excellent tree species that are resistant to insects and wind and grow fast to improve your economic efficiency.

Eucalyptus globulus Breeding Service

E. globulus has been one of the most popular trees in tropical and subtropical countries for its superior growth characteristics, versatility, and ornamental value, making its breeding one of botanists' most important critical concerns. Breeding Service to assist you in selecting the most suitable species of Eucalyptus globulus for growth.

The breeding services we can provide usually include hybrid breeding, breeding using transgenic technology, marker-assisted breeding, etc. We can provide you with various breeding experimental solutions, from traditional techniques to molecular breeding methods that have become popular in recent years.

Hybrid breeding

Hybrid breeding is the most powerful method of traditional tree selection. Using the complex genetic diversity in the population and the excellent seed selection index, we can select the most suitable parental species for our customers to cross from various aspects such as growth volume, growth rate, wood characteristics, adaptability, and resistance. We then hand-pollinate the hybrid parents according to their flowering period to prevent the trees themselves from self-fertilization and the invasion of foreign pollen.

Transgenic breeding

Transgenic technology allows better selection of new tree species by manipulating the target genes of the parents through transgenic technology or induced mutations. This method usually produces a dominant phenotype, and the tree species are less prone to selfing, allowing better trait inheritance maintenance.

Marker-assisted breeding

This technology is used to select target traits by molecularly assisted markers. We use sequencing methods such as next-generation sequencing to complete and identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) of target genes, generate multiple recombinant offspring with superior traits, and finally select the most suitable offspring based on the traits of DNA markers. Such molecular markers are not affected by environmental factors and have wide application potential.
