Eucalypts are one of the world's top sources of hardwood saw and pulp logs. This project will provide a model for accelerated tree improvement for wood quality. The aim is to link genes for wood formation with wood quality phenotypes in spotted gum, a priority hardwood eucalypt for Northern Australia. The significance of the approach is time and costs saved in the deployment of plantations of higher wood quality through the circumvention of delays to generate populations required for alternative approaches and early selection available with molecular breeding.

桉树是世界上硬木锯和纸浆原木的主要来源之一。该项目将提供一个加速树木木材质量改进的模式。其目的是将木材形成基因与斑点胶木材质量表型联系起来，斑点胶是北方澳大利亚的优先硬木树种。该方法的意义在于，通过避免延迟来产生替代方法所需的种群，并通过分子育种进行早期选择，从而节省了部署更高木材质量的种植园的时间和成本。
