TL;DR: Flooding for up to 40 days induced morphological changes and reduced growth of 6-week-old E. camaldulensis and Eucalyptus globulus seedlings and the importance of formation of adventitious roots in flooding tolerance is emphasized.
Abstract: Flooding for up to 40 days induced morphological changes and reduced growth of 6-week-old Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus globulus seedlings. However, the specific responses to flooding varied markedly between these species and with duration of flooding. Both species produced abundant adventitious roots that originated near the tap root and original lateral roots, but only E. camaldulensis produced adventitious roots on submerged portions of the stem. Flooding induced leaf epinasty and reduced total dry weight increment of seedling of both species but growth of E. globulus was reduced more. In both species dry weight increment of shoots was reduced more than dry weight increment of roots, reflecting compensatory growth of adventitious roots. Adaptation to flooding appeared to be greater in E. camaldulensis than in E. globulus. the importance of formation of adventitious roots in flooding tolerance is emphasized.

TL;DR: Leaf flavonoid glycosides of E. occidentalis proved to be quercetin and myricetin 3-glucuronide and the Middle Eastern species examined were found to belong to the southern Australian chemical race.

TL;DR: The trispecific hybrids were generally intermediate between the parents in most juvenile traits but in some they strongly resembled E grandis, thus proving their hybrid nature as discussed by the authors, and about a fifth of the hybrid progeny displayed a stunted "grass" phase during early post-cotyledonary development, but later changed into nearly normal types.
Abstract: Starting with a promising E camaldulensis × E tereticornis hybrid FRI-5, a (E camaldulensis × E tereticornis) × E grandis trispecific hybrid FRI-13 was synthesized The trispecific hybrids were generally intermediate between the parents in most juvenile traits but in some they strongly resembled E grandis, thus proving their hybrid nature About a fifth of the trispecific hybrid progeny displayed a stunted ‘grass’ phase during early post-cotyledonary development, but later changed into nearly normal types The potential practical value of multiple species crosses in Eucalyptus breeding and improvement is indicated
