The McClintock Prize for Plant Genetics and Genome Studies
Sponsor:Jeffrey Bennetzen

The McClintock Prize for Plant Genetics and Genome Studies is a prize awarded in genetics and genomics. The Prize is awarded by the Maize Genetics Executive Committee,[1] and is presented to the Prize winner each spring at the Annual Maize Genetics Conference. [2]

Named in honour of Barbara McClintock the award was founded in 2013 by Jeffrey Bennetzen, and funded by his royalties from the book Handbook of Maize by Bennetzen and Sarah Hake. McClintock received the Physiology or Medicine Nobel Prize in 1983 for her work on maize genome structure, function and evolution, especially for her discovery and study of mobile DNA elements (aka jumping genes).
