Doris Wagner, the Robert I. Williams Term Professor of Biology in the School of Arts and Sciences, has been honored as a 2019 Fellows Award recipient from the American Society of Plant Biologists. The ASPB is a scientific professional society devoted to the advancement of plant science and is the publisher of the journals Plant Physiology and The Plant Cell. Founded in 1924, the society works to promote the field of plant biology, in all aspects, and has members around the globe. Each year, ASPB honors a select few plant biologists with the Fellow of ASPB Award given in recognition of “distinguished and long-term contributions to plant biology and service to the Society by current members in areas that include research, education, mentoring, outreach, and professional and public service.” Dr. Wagner is joined by four other distinguished scientists from across the country as one of this year’s recipients. The award will be presented to her during the 2019 Plant Biology Conference in San Jose, California. Her research focuses on transcription, epigenetics, development and stress response in plants using an Arabadopsis model.
