E.grandis

Decoding the genome of Eucalyptus grandis , the most widely planted hardwood in the world

Native from Australia, the genus Eucalyptus encompasses more than 700 species. With 20 million hectares of industrial plantations, Eucalyptus (mainly E. grandis and E. globulus species) are the most planted hardwoods in the world mainly for the production of pulp and paper. With the increasing need for renewable energy to the replace fossil resources in a sustainable way, the use of Eucalyptus lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive alternative for the production of second generation biofuels.
