EDITORIAL BOARD RECOMMENDED READINGS

The MaizeGDB Editorial Board is charged with the task of recommending noteworthy maize primary literature on a monthly basis. This list highlights research of interest to maize researchers and is appropriate for use in by journal clubs. The inaugural board was convened in January 2005 by Virginia Walbot. The current year's membership includes: Marja Timmermans, Chief; Guri Johal; Damon Lisch; Gael Pressoir; and Moira Sheehan. Below is the Editorial Board's current recommended reading list.
