Five Michigan State University College of Natural Science (NatSci) faculty members are among nine MSU scientists receiving 2022 awards from the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB), two of whom are being named ASPB Fellows.

“The excellence and impact of the MSU plant research community has been recognized by the American Society of Plant Biology in its newest cohort of award winners,” said Phil Duxbury, NatSci dean. “Among them are two distinguished NatSci faculty members that were elected ASPB Fellows—Erich Grotewold and Jiming Jiang—an honor given to only 0.2 percent of the society membership each year. Congratulations to all five of our outstanding 2022 ASPB award recipients!”

Established in 2007, the Fellow of ASPB Awards recognizes distinguished and long-term contributions to plant biology and service to the society by current members in areas that include research, education, outreach, and service. Current members of ASPB who have contributed to the Society for at least 10 years are eligible for nomination.
