Marcus Rhoades was active in the Genetics Society of America, serving as the Editor of Genetics from 1940 to 1948, and later at the Vice President and then President of the GSA.[3] His research on maize led to important discoveries for basic genetics and the applied science of plant breeding. He was one of the first cytogenecists to document the pre-meiotic pairing of homologous chromosomes in maize, otherwise referred as somatic pairing (Singh, 2003), and the first to document an instance of meiotic drive, a Mendelian inheritance caused by preferential segregation of certain versions of homologous chromosomes during meiosis.[5] Rhoades' also pioneered work in nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions, demonstrating that mutation of the nuclear gene iojap produced heritable mutations in the genome of chloroplasts which persisted after the nuclear mutation was segregated away. In 1907, Herbert J. Webber started the Synapsis Club, a student/faculty organization at Cornell University, Prof.Rollins A. Emerson continued and encouraged his student to become members, including Rhoades.[6] In the 1940s, he served as the doctoral advisor of geneticist Ruth Sager at Columbia University.[7] Awards1977 Foreign Fellow of the Royal Danish Academy of Science and Letters[8] 1981 Thomas Hunt Morgan Medal - (Genetics Society of America) - Inaugural award, shared with Barbara McClintock.
