Richard Amasino

University of Wisconsin-Madison & Howard Hughes Medical Institute

Share

Richard Amasino is a Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor. His lab uses genetics and biochemistry to study plant development and the regulation of flowering. Amasino also encourages undergraduate students to explore genetics through experiments with Brassica rapa.

Amasino has been honored with numerous awards for both teaching and research.  He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2006.

Amasino received his BS in biology from Pennsylvania State University and his PhD in biology and biochemistry from Indiana University, Bloomington.

Talks with this Speaker

Genetics in the Classroom

Richard Amasino explains that plants are great tools for teaching genetics in K-12 classrooms, because they are easy and inexpensive to grow and have mutant traits that can be visualized with the naked eye. (Talk recorded in October 2014)

Audience:
  • Educators of H. School / Intro Undergrad
  • Educators of Adv. Undergrad / Grad
Duration: 18:29

CONSTANS and FLC: How do plants know when to flower?

Using Arabidopsis thaliana mutants, Richard Amasino and his colleagues found important proteins, CONSTANS and FLC, involved in the regulation of plant flowering. (Talk recorded in October 2014)
