   Marti Crouch knew from the age of 5 that she wanted to be a botanist. She dreamed of plants when other kids dreamed of animals. Her childhood artwork was all of plants personified with faces.
   
   But there was no room for plants with faces in her rigorous post-Sputnik scientific education. Armed with a Ph.D. from Yale, Crouch came to Indiana in 1979 to teach at IU and research ways to clone soybean genes.
