Adri Veale is a senior research assistant for the Forest Molecular Genetic
program at the University of Pretoria,Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology
Institute. She holds an MTech: Agriculture from the Tshwane University of
Technology.
She is involved in the development of the genetic engineering of Eucalyptus and
poplar trees. This involves Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation with
cellulose genes and the screening of the putatively transformed lines
by greenhouse trials to confirm the presence of the gene.
She is also facility manager of the tissue culture and growth facilities for the FMG
group.This involves all the ordering of chemicals,consumables, servicing and
maintenance of equipment as well as management for the facilities.
During 2011 she was the convener and chair of the organizing committee of the
II ISHS Genetic Modification in Horticultural symposium. She gave numerous
presentations on the above topics.
