Geneticist teaches farmers about wheat
When it comes to growing wheat, veteran plant geneticist Stephen Jones believes Mother Nature knows best. Read more.
A Perennial Search for Perfect Wheat
Jones’ pursuit of a wheat variety that sprouts yearafter- year instead of dying after producing seed was featured in the science section of the New York Times. Through crosses of wheat and wild grasses, Jones, Timothy Murray, chair and professor of plant pathology, and a bevy of graduate students, have bred perennial wheat that will sprout year after year. But significant challenges remain before growers get any seed.
