AJEV is fortunate to welcome a new editor. Dr. Krista Shellie of the United States Department of Agriculture became an associate editor in plant physiology and biochemistry in February 2015.

“We are pleased to have someone with Dr. Shellie’s breadth of experience and depth of expertise join the ranks of the AJEV associate editors, and I look forward to working with her,” noted AJEV Science Editor Linda Bisson.
