is chair of Plant Biology and manages the Genomics Laboratory at SouthamptonUniversity for sequencing, 2 and 4 dye real-time PCR, DNA microarrays hybridisation. She also leadsthe university-wide "Environment Initiative". Her current research interests include understanding the adaptation of trees to elevated CO2 using natural variation and genomics as tools for the identification of candidate genes and their further investigation using experiment manipulations. She is a Director of the "Vitacress Consevation Trust", established to fund ecological projects; and member of the management board of the LINK Horticulture group (for distribution of funds to projects in plant science). She actively works with UK research councils, BBSRC and NERC.

is Head of unit PICME (currently 20 persons) and she has over 12 years of experience in molecular biology, population genetics and marker development. She recently focuses her work on expression profiling using microarrays in forest trees as well as agricultural crops. Since 2002 she is establishing a repository centre for plant genetic resources (PICME). She was also the Chairperson of COST Action E28 Genosilva.

is the head of the INRA-University of Bordeaux I joint research unit BIOGECO. He has strong expertise in population and quantitative genetics with particular emphasis on temperate and tropical trees. He coordinated EU supported projects in FP2, FP3, FP4 and FP5 and he is associate editor of two international journals (Conservation genetics, Tree Genetics & Genomes). He has record of 150 publications in top ranking journals. He was awarded the 2006 Marcus Wallenberg Prize. Antoine Kremer is the coordinator of Evoltree and he is also activity leader of Integration Activity 3 (IA3), and Management Activity 3 (MA3).

is currently head of the Genetic Biodiversity group within the Centre for Ecosystem Studies at ALTERRA. He trained as a plant ecologist (MSc), but switched thereafter to population genetics (plants, animals and protists; mendelian, quantitative and molecular genetics). His current research interests include the genetics of plant sexual systems (QTL mapping of male fertility genes), spatial genetic structure of populations, relation between species- and genetic diversity in ecosystems and conservation genetics. Within ALTERRA he is responsible for both animal and plant related (conservation) genetic research.

is Professor of Genetics with particular expertise in plant genomics and molecular population genetics and Scientific Director of the newly founded Institute of Applied Genomics (IGA). His research group has been instrumental in establishing a number of genetic technology platforms that are now being widely deployed in plant genomic research. Over 60 publications on plant genetics in journals such as Nature Genetics, Nature Reviews Genetics, PNAS, Plant Cell, Genetics with high impact in the field (over 2600 citations reported by the ISI Web of Science).

is Professor of genetics at the University of Oulu since 1990. She holds a Ph.D. in genetics at the University of California at Davis. She was Chair of the Natural Resources and Environment Research Council of Finland (1995-1997). She was/is Coordinator of EU FPIV project Motors (1998-2000), and an EU FPV project Treesnips (2002-2006). She was/is Associate editor of Evolution (1998-2000), and Genetics (2000-2008), Theor. Appl. Genetics (2002-2006) and Tree Genom. Genet (since 2005). She works also at Editorial board Molecular Ecology.
