Abstract
Professor Michael Bevan is at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK, where he is Head of the Cell and Developmental Biology Department. He was the co-ordinator of the European Union Arabidopsis Genome Sequencing Consortium, which contributed to the sequence and analysis of the complete Arabidopsis genome that was published late last year. He is the co-ordinator of the EC funded EXOTIC program and is also a member of GARNet and UK CropNet. (For more background detail on these projects, please see our Featured Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana piece, also in this issue of CFG, or visit the websites listed below).
