   Early selection for rust resistance in eucalypt progenies and implications for other traits of interest in tree breeding

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: Daniele Aparecida Alvarenga Arriel --- Instituto de Ciências Agrárias, Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Brazil Lúcio Mauro da Silva Guimarães --- , Brazil Reginaldo Gonçalves Mafia --- , Brazil Edival Ângelo Valverde Zauza --- , Brazil Acelino Couto Alfenas --- Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Brazil

   Planting of resistant clones is the main control strategy for rust caused by Austropuccinia psidii on eucalypts in Brazil. Phenotyping for resistance to rust is performed at the last stage of the breeding programme on genetic material preselected for growth...
