Objective Summary
The project aims to exploit the recent discovery of genes that control the production of terpenes in Eucalyptus and Melaleuca (Myrtaceae). The discovery of these genes for the first time provides a means of identifying the genetic differences responsible for the chemotypic variation among species and genotypes of Eucalyptus and Melaleuca plantation cultivars.
