Marshall Sundberg
Dr. Marshall Sundberg receiving the Centennial Award of the Botanical
Society of America from co-recipient, Dr. Peter Raven. Dr. Sundberg
is a plant anatomist/morphologist interested in ontogeny and the role of plant
development in ecological and evolutionary adaptation. Areas of current
research include the evolutionary origin of the maize ear and development of
the separation zone in Tabasco pepper fruits. He is also interested in science
education and has published on curriculum design and assessment.
