US: National recognition for plant breeder Van Deynze
The award recognizes outstanding basic contributions to the advancement of plant breeding and genetics in the public sector.
Van Deynze is responsible for developing, coordinating and conducting research and generating and disseminating scientific and informational content for the center’s educational and outreach programs.
The National Council of Commercial Plant Breeders announced the award during an American Seed Trade Association event in Chicago. Van Deynze was unable to attend, due to his work on a project with the African Orphan Crops Consortium, of which the Seed Biotechnology Center is a founding member.
