Identification of putative trait based markers for Genetic Improvement of Eucalyptus tereticornis

Tree breeding is basically aimed at producing quality products like seeds and clones and the most valuable contribution ofmolecular markers in breeding programs would be to reduce the time of selection or to reduce the number of breedingcycles. This can be achieved either by the early identification...
