| Abstract: | The knowledge of breeding impacts on the genetic diversity of hybrids of Eucalyptus is crucial to the exploration of genetic resources. We estimated genetic polymorphic parameters of 112 hybrids of Eucalyptus spp. using 10 genomic simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers and 10 expressed sequence tags (EST) microsatellite markers.
According to Student’s t-test, there were no significant differences between genomic SSR and EST-SSR markers. Our results also revealed high polymorphism
in the hybrids analyzed, indicating that both markers are appropriate for use in genetic breeding programs. |
