I
am Curator of the Maize Genetics Cooperation - Stock Center, the world's
collection of maize genetic and cytological mutants. My duties include
collecting, documenting, and propagating the thousands of mutants that
have been discovered by corn geneticists, breeders, and farmers over the
years. In addition, I have made my own contributions to the field of corn
genetics by discovering and characterizing new mutants. This research was
started in the laboratory of Dr. Donald S. Robertson at Iowa
State University in 1982 and continued in the laboratory of Dr.
Patrick Schnable at Iowa State beginning in 1991. I joined the Maize
Genetics Cooperation - Stock Center in 1993, and am continuing my research
in starch biosynthetic mutants (sugary3
and amylose
extender1), aleurone color mutants (dilute
aleurone1, brown
aleurone1, and John Deere Corn), and various other seedling, kernel,
and mature plant mutants. Further information and publications can be found
here.
