Susan McCouch

Susan R. McCouch (born 1953)[1] is an American geneticist specializing in the genetics of rice.[2] She is the Barbara McClintock Professor of Plant Breeding and Genetics at Cornell University, and since 2018 a member of the National Academy of Sciences.[3]

McCouch completed her doctorate at Cornell in 1990, under the supervision of Steven D. Tanksley.[4] Her research has included identifying the genetic mechanisms used by rice to survive long-term flooding,[5] and the development of a new cultivar of red rice.[6]
