From IPBGG
• “Zenglu has been an active member of IPBGG, serving as major
professor for 5 PBGG students, 3 PhD and 2 MS. Two PhD students
have received prestigious Soybean Board Fellowships and one
received the Glenn and Helen Burton Feeding the Hungry
Scholarship. He also has sole responsibility for teaching
Quantitative Aspects of Plant Breeding, ensuring that this continues
to be a rigorous course. His program is focused on molecular
soybean breeding and is delivering soybean germplasm and
cultivars that will have significant impact on the soybean
industry. This is one of the most cutting-edge breeding programs in
the Institute.”
