National science society honors Moldenhauer

Karen Moldenhauer

The American Association for the Advancement of Science announced Nov. 27 that it has awarded the distinction of AAAS Fellow to University of Arkansas rice breeder Karen Kuenzel Moldenhauer.

Moldenhauer, who holds the university’s Rice Industry Chair for Variety Development, is based at the Division of Agriculture’s Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) near Stuttgart. The rice breeding program has developed 19 improved varieties since 1982, when Moldenhauer, also a professor in the Department of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences, joined the faculty as leader of the program.

Moldenhauer was selected as a fellow in the AAAS section on agriculture, food and renewable resources. Her role in the team effort to improve the genetic potential of rice varieties for yield, quality, diseases resistance and other traits was cited as a major factor in the sustainability of rice production in Arkansas and other states. Arkansas farmers produce about half of the rice grown in the United States.

Moldenhauer has a Ph.D. degree in plant breeding from Iowa State University.
