Her research encompasses quantitative and ecological genetics and breeding, including the application of new technologies in tree breeding programmes. Dr Heidi Dungey specialises in tree breeding and genetic resource characterisation for commercial forestry species including radiata pine, Douglas-fir, cypresses, eucalypts and redwoods.
