Finally, we also provided an ontological analysis of the genes affected by I with PIC ≥ 0.5 and a major allele difference ≥3 bp in the CDS region (Additional file 5: Table S5); these characteristics made these InDels valuable for molecular breeding applications.
Genome mapping of spruces is underway to enable molecular breeding applications (e.g. [ 25]).
This work represents an important step forward for Eucalyptus comparative genomics, opening stimulating perspectives for evolutionary studies and molecular breeding applications in species of the genus.

Combined with syntenic approaches, the consensus map will increase marker density in selected genomic regions and will be useful for future faba bean molecular breeding applications.
Thus, there is a need for the development and utilization of gene-based markers that better serve molecular breeding applications and diversity analysis of germplasm.
These transcriptomic studies provide a foundation for the identification of novel regulators associated with faba bean-pathogen interactions and also a valuable source of markers for molecular breeding applications in this crop.
Genetic markers are of great importance to the understanding genetic variation and to the identification of genes and quantitative trait locus for traits of interested in molecular breeding applications.
It is important to point out, however, that SFP would not be the method of choice when the same markers have to be assayed repeatedly such as in downstream QTL, association mapping or molecular breeding applications.
The high marker density of the map allows for the selection of specific markers to customize mapping and molecular breeding applications, such as fine mapping, the development of novel genetic stocks (e.g., nearly isogenic lines and inbred backcross lines), MAS, and hybrid seed production.
