List of members of the National Academy of Sciences (Plant biology)

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is a United States non-profit, non-governmental organization. It is part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, which also includes the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) and the National Academy of Medicine (NAM). Election to the NAS is a highly prestigious honor, recognizing distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.

Membership in the NAS is divided into sections based on scientific discipline. The Plant Biology section comprises scientists who have made significant contributions to the understanding of plant life, encompassing areas such as plant physiology, plant genetics, plant biochemistry, plant molecular biology, plant pathology, plant development, plant evolution, plant ecology, and related fields.

Members of the Plant Biology section are nominated and elected by their peers. The election process involves a rigorous review of candidates' research contributions and impact on the field. New members are inducted into the Academy each year at the NAS Annual Meeting.

The Plant Biology section plays a key role within the NAS by providing expertise on plant-related issues, participating in studies and reports on topics relevant to plant science, and contributing to the Academy's mission of providing independent, objective advice to the nation on matters related to science and technology. While a definitive, publicly accessible, and continuously updated complete list of members specifically within the Plant Biology section of the NAS is typically not maintained as a standalone document, information about individual members can be found on the NAS website. Researchers are usually listed by their primary field of contribution and membership information can be accessed through the NAS directory.
