Transcriptome Analysis of Eucalyptus grandis Implicates Brassinosteroid Signaling in Defense Against Myrtle Rust (Austropuccinia psidii) Open
Eucalyptus grandis , in its native Australian range, varies in resistance to Austropuccinia psidii (syn. Puccinia psidii ). The biotrophic rust fungus, A. psidii is the causal agent of myrtle rust and poses a serious threat to Australian b…

A Genome-Wide Association Study for Resistance to the Insect Pest Leptocybe invasa in Eucalyptus grandis Reveals Genomic Regions and Positional Candidate Defense Genes Open
The galling insect, Leptocybe invasa, causes significant losses in plantations of various Eucalyptus species and hybrids, threatening its economic viability. We applied a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify single-nucleotide p…

The Road to Resistance in Forest Trees Open
In recent years, forests have been exposed to an unprecedented rise in pests and pathogens. This, coupled with the added challenge of climate change, renders forest plantation stock vulnerable to attack and severely limits productivity. Ge…

Insect Gallers and Their Plant Hosts: From Omics Data to Systems Biology Open
Gall-inducing insects are capable of exerting a high level of control over their hosts’ cellular machinery to the extent that the plant’s development, metabolism, chemistry, and physiology are all altered in favour of the insect. Many gall…
