50. Andrew Lowe and Julia Wilson are based in the Tropical Forests section at the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (ITE). They are particularly interested in the application of generic markers to the management of forest genetic resources for a range of tropical and temperate tree species. Amanda Gillies is based in the Plant Sciences Department at the University of St Andrews. Formerly interested in the assessment of genetic variation in tropical and temperate tree species, she is now working in the field of evolutionary developmental genetics. lan Dawson is involved in the Tree Domestication programme at the International Centre for esearch in Agroforestry (ICRAF). He is particularly interested in optimizing the use of indigenous tree species within agroforestry systems in the tropics.
