| Dr. Gengenbach's interests in plant genetics prior to 1998 led to work on corn tissue culture and in vitro selection of useful crop traits in tissue culture, on the biochemistry and genetic control of the synthesis of amino acids and lipids, on isolation and characterization of several genes for lysine and lipid synthesis, and on the transfer of new genes into crop plants and analysis of the resultant modified plants. Dr. Gengenbach grew up on a crop and livestock farm in western Nebraska and holds degrees from the University of Nebraska and the University of Illinois. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy, the Crop Science Society of America, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
