Jiming Jiang is a Professor of Horticulture at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. His
research focuses on plant molecular cytogenetics, plant centromeres, potato breeding and
genomics. In addition to his research activities Dr. Jiang also teaches a course on
introductory cytogenetics, and he is an elected fellow of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science.
James A. Birchler is Curators Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Missouri-
Columbia. His lab studies gene expression in multicellular eukaryotes at the gene and
chromosomal level, using maize and Drosophila as experimental organisms. Dr. Birchler
has published widely in such journals as The New Phytologist, The Plant Cell, and Genes and
Chromatin, and he is an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of
