He has banked seeds from thousands of varieties, which he crossbreeds for desirable traits, such as better flavor, disease resistance, high yield and ability to thrive in a specific environment. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We genetically modify,&rdquo; said Brewbaker. &ldquo;We borrow genes here and put them there.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21381\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21381\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/brewbaker-tractor.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"328\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/brewbaker-tractor.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/brewbaker-tractor-260x213.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21381\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Brewbaker at <abbr>UH<\/abbr>&#8217;s Waim&#257;nalo Research Station.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Thanks to <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>&#8217;s climate, Brewbaker, his students and fellow researchers can plant corn every day of the year and test new varieties. That allows researchers to study multiple generations of plants in a single year. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Everything goes faster and the problems we try to resolve just go like that,&rdquo; said Brewbaker. <\/p>\n<p>Among other accomplishments, Brewbaker was instrumental in developing the seed corn industry in <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>, now the state&#8217;s leading agricultural commodity, and has authored more than 280 publications on a variety of crops. His first book, <em>Agricultural Genetics<\/em>, has been translated into seven languages. Then there is his proudest achievement. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;My students have been my greatest joy&#8212;52 masters and doctorates,&rdquo; said Brewbaker and his students are currently working all over the world. &ldquo;You go to Thailand, they call me the grandfather of sweet corn.
