Quoted: Paul Williams, a plant pathologist at the University of Wisconsin?Madison, developed a Brassica plant with a rapid life cycle for his research on disease-resistant vegetables, and it didn?t take him long to realize that his creation ?might be useful for teaching principles of plant biology.? Today, through the Wisconsin Fast Plants Program, which he developed, his Brassica plants have been shipped to thousands of classrooms around the world.
