Another Award For Linda Rillo
The lady who has worked hard on the improvement of Makapuno tissue culture, Erlinda Paje-Rillo, has been recently cited again for her significant accomplishments. This time it is from the Philippine Association of Plant Tissue Culturists. Part of her citation reads as follows:
“Before her retirement, she led two research projects, which run from 2007 to 2010, on the micropropagation of Makapuno using plumular tissues as explants, and development of protocol for clonal propagation of coconut towards improving the efficiency of somatic embryo formation, germination
and plantlet regeneration.
She never gets tired doing research even after her retirement, as she is currently leading the implementation of a project on the evaluation of the field performance of embryo cultured dwarf Makapuno at Lipa Experiment Station and Quezon Agricultural Experiment Station (QAES) and its mass production using embryo culture technique at QAES, funded by the cash award she received as the awardee for the 2007 DA-Gawad Saka Outstanding Agricultural Scientist.”
Earlier in 2007, the UPLB College of Agriculture and UPLB Almuni Association conferred on her the Distinguished Alumnus Award, for her significant contributions in the improvement of Makapuno tissue culture.
