Eucalyptus spp. transcriptome response to water deficit
Phenotypic plasticity of two eucalyptus genotypes subjected to field water shortage
Given their adaptation in various environments, strong capacity of growth and interesting wood properties, Eucalyptus have become the most planted hardwood in the world (20 Mha in 2009). These species are used in the pulp and paper, timber and oil industry. Its presence in diverse environments makes it also  a model genera for the study of adaptation of planted forests to climate changes. The aim of the project is to compare transcriptome response of two genotypes of Eucalyptus hybrids submitted to two watering regimes (irrigation versus no-irrigation during the dry season in Congo).
