Regions of the genome influencing frost tolerance in an outbred family of Eucalyptus nitens have been identified. Two QTLs present on the same linkage group, but located 40 cM apart, were identified using single-factor analysis of variance. The QTLs explained between 7.7 and 10.8% of the phenotypic variation for frost tolerance in this family. Analysis of marker loci linked to the QTLs showed one of them to have a simple mode of action with the effect segregating from the male parent in the family. For the other QTL multiple alleles were identified. This QTL showed segregation from the female parent which gave a positive effect on frost tolerance; however, an allele segregating from the male parent was identified which showed a negative interaction with the allele for increased frost tolerance.
