Barbara's discoveries

Barbara actually made her very first contibution to science as a graduate student. She dicoveried cytological techniques that allowed her to identify each of the ten maize chromosomes. Wow she really did a lot. She was so excited and very happy to have been the one to have made that discovery. After she had made that discovery she began a intensive investigation of the chromosome-breaking locus. Barbara was determined to make sure that every decision she made and every discovery she came up with was very accurate.
