Kittle, Ph.D., global leader, Research & Development, Dow AgroSciences. “As a leader in plant genetics and genomics research, ACPFG has key capabilities in understanding the basic mechanisms of how plants respond to stress. Together, we have the potential to bring valuable new solutions to the agricultural market and farmers around the world.”
