Notă biografică
Peter J. van Dijk, PhD (1991), University of Groningen, is a plant geneticist studying apomixis (clonal reproduction through seeds). He has authored over 60 peer-reviewed papers and helped identify apomixis genes in Mendel’s hawkweeds. He received the Mendel Memorial Medal (2023) for contributions to Mendel scholarship.
T. H. Noel Ellis, PhD (1979), University of Edinburgh, is a plant geneticist specialising in pea genetics and genomics. He has authored over 150 peer-reviewed papers and has helped identify pea genes studied by Mendel. He received the Mendel Memorial Medal (2025) for contributions to Mendel scholarship.
