The development of sound conservation and regeneration strategies depends on the exploitation of genetic variation of tropical trees. Patterns of genetic variation have been assessed in field trials and at molecular markers only for a few main plantation species such as eucalypts. Preliminary evidence points towards considerable genetic diversity and complex spatial structures for most tropical tree species. Examples are provided to illustrate the use of field trials and molecular tools in order to clarify genetic relationships within species-rich taxa such as dipterocarps and to identify superior genotypes for plantation establishment.
