José Quero-Garcia (Edited By)
José Quero Garcia entered Polytechnic University of Madrid in 1993
to obtain title of 'Agronomic Engineer' (2000). 1997-1998 Erasmus
student at University of Reading (6 months). 1998-2000 studied at
'Institut Agronomique National Paris-Grigon' (INAP-G) within frame
of double diploma exchange programme between ETSIA and INAP-G and
obtained diploma of 'Ingénieur Agronome' from INAP-G. During last
year at INAP-G, followed a DEA ('Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies'),
equivalent of an MSc degree, specialized in 'Genetics and Plant
Breeding'. 2000-2004 worked at CIRAD obtaining the PhD degree at
the 'Ecole Nationale Supérieure Agronomique de Montpellier' (ENSAM)
in 2004. Worked on the study of diversity and breeding of taros
(Colocasia esculenta) from Vanuatu. 2005 awarded a competitive
fellowship ('Juan de la Cierva') from Spanish Ministry of Education
and Research to conduct post-doctoral fellowship at ETSIA Madrid,
working on Plant Virology. Before finishing post-doc, hired by
INRA-Bordeaux in 2007, as permanent researcher, with main
responsibility of leading the sweet cherry breeding programme at
INRA. The focus of his team A3C ('Adaptation du Cerisier au
Changement Climatique') is to study the adaptation of sweet cherry
to climate changes, with a special emphasis on phenology-related
traits as well as fruit quality, and in particular, tolerance to
rain-induced cracking. Scientific interests include the study of
genetic and molecular determinisms of traits of major agronomic
importance for sweet cherry. Main applied objective is to implement
marker-assisted strategies to optimize the current breeding
programme. Since 2012, Chair of COST Action FA1104 'Sustainable
production of high-quality cherries for the European market'.
Gregory Lang (Edited By)
Gregory Lang has been a professor of tree fruit physiology at
Michigan State University (MSU) and program leader for the stone
fruit physiology laboratory since 2000. He was previously an
associate professor and program leader for the sweet cherry
physiology laboratory at Washington State University from 1994-2000
and an assistant/associate professor of pomology at Louisiana State
University from1987-1994. He earned a B.S. degree in horticultural
science from University of Georgia and an M.S. in pomology and
Ph.D. in plant physiology from University of California-Davis. His
areas of expertise include tree fruit horticulture (development and
management of sustainable orchard systems - pruning, training,
growth regulation, and protective orchard covering systems, with
particular emphasis on sweet cherry), tree fruit physiology
(environmental stress, developmental and reproductive physiology,
carbohydrate and nitrogen partitioning and utilization), and Prunus
germplasm improvement and evaluation. Dr Lang has authored more
than 185 research and industry articles related to fruit
production, released or co-released five new sweet cherry
varieties, and has edited or co-edited several books and
proceedings on cherry research. Under the auspices of the
International Society for Horticultural Science, he has served as
the chair of international working groups on cherry production and
orchard systems, and has provided numerous keynote addresses at
scientific and grower conferences around the world. He is the
recipient of the American Society for Horticultural Science's
Undergraduate Research award (1981), Graduate Educator Award
(2010), and Extension Materials award (2017), as well as the
International Fruit Tree Association's Distinguished Research award
(2001).
