EucaMaps is a web-based application that provides genetic linkage maps of Eucalyptus and Corymbia species, their orthologous relationships and the position of 267 published QTLs, hyperlinked to the Eucalyptus grandis genome sequence of BRASUZ1. EucaMaps makes an ideal springboard to relate results on the genetic architecture of several quantitative traits with genomic information using the circular vizualization tool of Circos. Five classes of QTLs (growth, wood quality, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, leaf chemicals, rooting ability) are presented in this web-based application providing a broad overview of major QTL regions in the seven species considered.
