Alan M. Jones Biography

Alan M. Jones is one of the most popular and richest Biologist who was born on May 13, 1957 in United States.

During the 1970s, in collaboration with the organic chemist Nelson Leonard, Jones invented a photoaffinity labeling technique to identify auxin receptors in plant extracts. He provided the first data proving that Auxin-binding Protein 1 (ABP1) binds auxin and, in collaboration with Michael Sussman, proved that this receptor is essential for normal auxin-mediated growth The later discovery was only the second report of a gene knockout mutant in the genetic model, Arabidopsis thaliana. Despite his proof that auxin binding to ABP1 is the rate-limiting step for auxin signal transduction, the classification of ABP1 as a hormone receptor remains controversial among plant cell biologists because the structure and properties of ABP1 do not fit any animal hormone receptor paradigm.

Jones received his B.S summa cum laude in Botany from the University of Florida in 1978 and his PhD in Plant Biology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1983. He was first under the mentorship of Larry N. Vanderhoef and finished his training with Tuan-hua David Ho. In the middle of his PhD program, Jones spent 2 years at the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basal Switzerland under the mentorship of Fred Meins. His postdoctoral training was at the University of Wisconsin- Madison under the mentorship of Peter Quail. Jones joined the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986.
