A major international eucalypt genomic project is underway. Australia needs to take part because the Australian public would expect Australia to be at the forefront of research on one of its national symbols. Eucalypts are critically important to biodiversity and commercial forestry. The development of the proposed generic eucalypt DArT chip will help keep Australia at the forefront of genetic and genomic research in eucalypts and help develop our biotechnology industry. Such research is essential for future forest tree breeding. Furthermore, eucalypt forests are one of our most important natural assets and their continual preservation requires that we develop better knowledge of their natural genetic variation and development.

一项重大的国际桉树基因组计划正在进行中。澳大利亚需要参与其中，因为澳大利亚公众希望澳大利亚能够走在其国家象征之一研究的最前沿。桉树对生物多样性和商业林业至关重要。拟议的通用桉树 DArT 芯片的开发将有助于澳大利亚保持在桉树遗传和基因组研究的前沿，并有助于发展我们的生物技术产业。此类研究对于未来的林木育种至关重要。此外，桉树林是我们最重要的自然资产之一，对其的持续保护要求我们更好地了解其自然遗传变异和发展。
