Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Wing is a leading authority in plant genome research who has played key roles in sequencing the genomes of two of the most important crop plants, rice and corn. As a next step, he is seeking to exploit the genomes of close relatives to improve domesticated rice. In Germany, he will spearhead a similar effort for the cabbage family. This project will be equally interesting for breeders and for basic research, as it will produce important fundamental insights into genome evolution. |
