Craig McGill MAppSc

Senior Research Officer

Doctoral Supervisor
School of Agriculture and Environment

Roles and Responsibilities

Craig is involved in both teaching and research in seed science and technology and has a strong interest in all aspects of seed quality, including how the interaction between the environment and seed impacts on seed quality. Craig is the project leader for the New Zealand Indigenous Flora Seed Bank initiative which is a project to implement the collection, study and conservation of New Zealand’s unique plant diversity through ex situ storage of seed. 

Craig is supervising a number of postgraduate students in both the seed conservation and the use of imaging technology for seed quality assurance. In addition Craig teaches various aspects of seed science and technology in a number of post-graduate and undergraduate papers.

 Craig also has an interest in international methodology for assessing seed quality and has been a member of the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) since 1998. Craig is a past-Chair of the ISTA Moisture Committee, is a member of the Executive Committee and, was elected President of ISTA from 2016-2019.

 

 Craig is President of the Agronomy Society of New Zealand and past-editor of Agronomy New Zealand 

Craig Is a Senior Research Officer in Seed Science and Technology with a research focus on seed of both introduced and indigenous plant species. Craig’s work on indigenous flora centres around seed conservation though ex situ storage of seed as part of the New Zealand Indigenous Seed Bank project, for which Craig is project leader. This work includes research into seed desiccation tolerance, storage and germination, and the use of imaging technologies for seed quality asurance. Craig also has expertise in seed biosecurity and the movement of seed nationally and internationally.
