“…Most QTL studies in Eucalyptus to date have focused on traits of economic importance such as growth and wood quality ( Thumma et al , 2010 ; Gion et al , 2011 ; Freeman et al , 2013 ; Resende et al , 2016 ) and resistance to pests and disease ( Alves et al , 2012 ; Zarpelon et al , 2015 ; Rosado et al , 2016 ; Mhoswa et al , 2020 ). However, a few studies have addressed other traits related to physiological and/or ecological functions, such as foliar terpene and cuticular wax composition, heterochrony and drought resistance ( Freeman et al , 2008 ; Hudson et al , 2014 ; Gosney et al , 2016 ; Ammitzboll et al , 2020 ).…”
