Dal-Hoe Koo is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Plant Pathology at Kansas State University, where he leads cytogenetics research projects at the Wheat Genetics Resource Center (WGRC). With a Ph.D. in Plant Biology from Chungnam National University, he has made significant contributions to chromosome engineering and wheat improvement. His current work focuses on exploiting meiotic recombination in wheat wild relatives and involves teaching and mentoring students. Dr. Koo has an impressive publication record in prestigious journals, including recent works in Nature and Nature Genetics, and has notably developed powdery mildew-resistant wheat germplasm. His expertise in cytogenetics has also contributed to two U.S. patents related to genetic innovations in wheat.Dal Hoe Koo
