Susan Rutherford McCouch (born 1953)[3] is an American geneticist specializing in the genetics of rice.[2][4][5][6] She is known for developing the first molecular genetic map of rice and for her role in turning rice into a model for genetics and breeding research.[7] She is the Barbara McClintock Professor of Plant Breeding and Genetics at Cornell University, and since 2018 a member of the National Academy of Sciences.[8] In 2012, she was awarded the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities.
