Eduardo A. Quisumbing
Eduardo A. Quisumbing specializes in plants and is one of the first researchers to study Philippine
medicinal plants and orchids. He wrote the book Medicinal Plants of the Philippines, which is
considered as one of the first books in this area of specialty. He has also written 129 scientific articles in this field. He studied the characteristics of grains and proteins, and how these affect
the quality of rice. He showed that the amount of a substance called amylose determines the
quality of rice grains in Asia. The less of this substance that rice has, the less sticky it will be.
