Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Fungal diseases such as the exotic myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii), and the native Quambalaria shoot blight (QSB; caused by Quambalaria species including Q. pitereka), constitute a significant threat to both native forests and Corymbia plantations in Australia and overseas. We here use quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis to understand the genetic architecture of resistance to these pathogens in C. torelliana and C. citriodora subsp. variegata. QTL analysis was undertaken using 360 genotypes from two F crosses of C. torelliana × C. citriodora subsp. variegata, phenotyped by controlled inoculation with the strain of A. psidii present in Australia and independent inoculations with two strains of Q. pitereka (QSB1 & QSB2). A total of 22 QTL were identified, six for rust and 16 for QSB. The QTL for resistance to A. psidii and Q. pitereka in these pedigrees were independent from one another since they were generally in different parts of the genome, with only one case of co-location (QTL peak location within ± 2 MB). The QTL for the different QSB strains all mapped to discrete locations. The QTL for QSB were generally of a greater effect size than those for A. psidii. Several co-locations with QTL for resistance to rust and other fungal pathogens found in another eucalypt, Eucalyptus globulus, were detected and the implications of this observation are discussed.
