Wageningen's top citations
For many years, the 1974 work on the growth stages of grains, by phytopathologist Jan Zadoks, was the most cited article by a Wageningener. Last year Zadoks was overtaken by Willem Stiekema, who published the genome of the model plant Arabidopsis, together with a group of colleagues.
