This is Ezatollah Farshadfar who was born in 1953 in a peasant Family in the Chaleh Chaleh village in the province of Kermanshah. I finished my high school education in the city of Kermanshah in 1973 in the subject of Natural sciences with average of 18.63 out of 20 and obtained my diploma with excellent degree (first student in high school). In 1973 I passed the national examination of Ministry of science, research and technology in crop production and plant breeding and entered Shahid Chamran University of Ahwaz, Iran. After 4 years in 1977 I got my B.Sc degree in Crop production and plant breeding with excellent degree. In 1977 I travelled to the United State of America toward M.Sc degree in Agronomy and passed 30 credits in Portland State University and California State University (Frezno). In 1986 I graduated from Tarbiat Modaress University with M.Sc degree in plant Breeding with excellent degree and in 1995 I got my Ph.D degree in the Hungraina Academy of Sciences with excellent degree and average of 100 out of 100. In 2002 I spend 6 months Sabatical in Birmingham University working on mapping and QTL analysis.
