Working Group

MaizeGDB is guided by an eleven-person working group comprised of a wide variety of people from the maize community and beyond. The eleven members were selected due to their broad-based expertise in order to provide overall guidance to the MaizeGDB project, and continue the work begun by the MaizeDB to MaizeGDB Transition Steering Commitee.
