Eucalypts are one of Australia’s most identifiable symbols and are critically important to biodiversity and environmental sustainability. They are commercially Australia’s most important native trees and are now the most planted hardwoods worldwide. We are interested in fundamental as well as applied research and have four research themes:

• Restoration & conservation genetics
• Evolution and speciation
• Genome and trait architecture
• Tree breeding

The Eucalypt Genetics Research Group is affiliated with the
ARC Centre for Forest Value
