This project aims to test a ‘gene to plantation’ approach for the management of pests in softwood forestry. The project aims to focus on the stripping of bark from Pinus radiata trees by mammals: a major threat to tree productivity in many regions of Australia and an economic burden for forestry companies. The project aims to use a wide complement of P. radiata germplasm to link genetics, bark defensive chemistry and susceptibility to damage. It aims to identify genotypes with increased resistance, unravel defensive tree traits, screen for genetic markers and identify specific gene regions correlated with trait variation, and examine cross-correlations with other major tree productivity traits.

该项目旨在测试用于软木林业害虫管理的“基因到种植园”方法。该项目旨在关注哺乳动物从辐射松树上剥离树皮的情况：这是对澳大利亚许多地区树木生产力的主要威胁，也是林业公司的经济负担。该项目旨在利用广泛的辐射 P. radiata 种质将遗传学、树皮防御化学和对损害的敏感性联系起来。它的目的是识别抗性增强的基因型，揭示防御性树木性状，筛选遗传标记并识别与性状变异相关的特定基因区域，并检查与其他主要树木生产力性状的互相关性。
