| Date | 19 May 2011 |
| Description | Certificate of Candidate for Election to Foreign Membership. |
| Citation | Joanne Chory pioneered analysis of plant responses to their environment using a molecular genetic approach in Arabidopsis. Her laboratory has led the plant field for 20 years, making major discoveries in how plants grow and develop. She elucidated how plants perceive light; indentified how chloroplasts signal to the nucleus; and defined a novel pathway for the biosynthesis of the plant hormone auxin. She also discovered a novel steroid hormone in plants, indentified the steroid receptor and elegantly dissected the signalling network. She has been a beacon of scientific excellence and a wonderful ambassador for plant research in the international scientific community. |
