The eucalypt gene pool is an outstandingly important bioresource for Australia. Its effective future management will be based on understanding the extent, causes and significance of genetic variation in eucalypt species. This project investigates a currently overlooked, but potentially important, source of genetic diversity and adaptation in Eucalyptus. The knowledge gained will contribute substantially to our understanding of eucalypt biology, and will inform decision-making for conservation, revegetation, and sustainable use of seed resources. Through addressing fundamental questions, the project will also provide a uniquely Australian contribution to world research in forest molecular genetics.

真核生物基因库是澳大利亚非常重要的生物资源。 未来有效的管理将基于对真核生物物种遗传变异的程度、原因和意义的理解。 该项目调查了桉树遗传多样性和适应性的一个目前被忽视但潜在重要的来源。 所获得的知识将大大有助于我们对植物生物学的理解，并将为种子资源的保护，重新植被和可持续利用提供决策。 通过解决基本问题，该项目还将为世界森林分子遗传学研究作出独特的澳大利亚贡献。
