About
Stanton B. Gelvin is a pioneer in plant genetic engineering, whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of *Agrobacterium*-mediated transformation. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of T-DNA transfer and integration, as well as the host factors that influence plant transformation efficiency. Gelvin’s major contributions include elucidating the roles of plant proteins in the transformation process and developing strategies to overcome recalcitrance in crop species. His highly cited work, “Advancing Crop Transformation in the Era of Genome Editing” (2016, 688 citations), critically assesses the persistent bottlenecks in plant transformation and regeneration, highlighting how these challenges limit the application of genome editing technologies. This influential review underscores his lasting impact on both fundamental plant biology and applied agricultural biotechnology. A Distinguished Professor at Purdue University, Gelvin has received numerous accolades, including election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, for his transformative contributions to plant science. His research continues to guide efforts toward more efficient and broadly applicable crop improvement methods.
