DOI: 10.1002/ps.8043
Abstract: In Australia, macadamia orchards are attacked by four main insect pest groups. Management and control of three of these key pests currently relies on broad-spectrum insecticides whose long-term future is questionable. Of the 23 insecticides… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-61708-6
Abstract: The Proteaceae genus Macadamia has a recent history of domestication as a commercial nut crop. We aimed to establish the first sequence-based haploid-correlated reference genetic linkage maps for this primarily outcrossing perennial tree crop, with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/hr/uhaf162
Abstract: Abstract Early vigour (EV) and precocity are important traits for orchard establishment and profitability in macadamia. EV determines tree growth and adaptation, while precocity facilitates early yield, offering economic benefits. Although, a positive relationship between… read more here.
