plant biology; his groundbreaking research on chloroplast genetics, biogenesis, structure, and function; and his inspired teaching and mentoring.
He was instrumental in securing the USDA Competitive Grants Program that
brought funding and scientific rigor to
plant biology, recognized early on the value of recombinant DNA technology to agricultural sciences, and provided leadership and vision during the initial international meetings on
plant molecular
biology.
