Four Master Teachers Who Fostered American Turn-Of-The-(20<Sup>TH
MYCOTAXON ISSN (print) 0093-4666 (online) 2154-8889 Mycotaxon, Ltd. ©2021 January–March 2021—Volume 136, pp. 1–58 https://doi.org/10.5248/136.1 Four master teachers who fostered American turn-of-the-(20TH)-century mycology and plant pathology Ronald H. Petersen Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN 37919-1100 Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—The Morrill Act of 1862 afforded the US states the opportunity to found state colleges with agriculture as part of their mission—the so-called “land-grant colleges.” The Hatch Act of 1887 gave the same opportunity for agricultural experiment stations as functions of the land-grant colleges, and the “third Morrill Act” (the Smith-Lever Act) of 1914 added an extension dimension to the experiment stations. Overall, the end of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th was a time for growing appreciation for, and growth of institutional education in the natural sciences, especially botany and its specialties, mycology, and phytopathology. This paper outlines a particular genealogy of mycologists and plant pathologists representative of this era. Professor Albert Nelson Prentiss, first of Michigan State then of Cornell, Professor William Russel Dudley of Cornell and Stanford, Professor Mason Blanchard Thomas of Wabash College, and Professor Herbert Hice Whetzel of Cornell Plant Pathology were major players in the scenario. The supporting cast, the students selected, trained, and guided by these men, was legion, a few of whom are briefly traced here. Key words—“New Botany,” European influence, agrarian roots Chapter 1.

Asian Journal of Mycology 4(1), 40–80, Doi 10.5943/ajom/4/1/5 Abstract Rust fungi show unique systematic characteristics among all fungal groups. A single species of rust fungi may produce up to five morphologically and cytologically distinct spore-producing structures thereby attracting the interest of mycologist for centuries. In India, the research on rust fungi started with the arrival of foreign visiting scientists or emigrant experts, mainly from Britain who collected fungi and sent specimens to European laboratories for identification. Later on, a number of mycologists from India and abroad studied Indian rust fungi and contributed a lot to knowledge of the rusts to the Indian Mycobiota. -

As Pflanzschule for Botanical Gardens
The Global and the Local: The History of Science and the Cultural Integration of Europe. nd Proceedings of the 2 ICESHS (Cracow, Poland, September 6–9, 2006) / Ed. by M. Kokowski. Bastian Röther, Daniela Feistauer, Uta Monecke * The „Society of Corresponding Botanists‟ 1 as Pflanzschule for botanical gardens (1) Introduction Our society of corresponding botanists will be heard again, as soon as the new secretary Hofmeister will arrive at Marktbreit. All recently admitted members have written, many attested their delight, promised contributions, as for instance Dr. Lehmann about magazine articles by German botanists, Kunze in Leipzig about epiphytes, Sadler about his latest voyage through Hungary, with regard to plants, they’re not very enthusiastic.2 These are the words that, in 1816, Christian Gottfried Nees von Esenbeck (1776–1858) — the future professor of botany and Leopoldina-president — wrote to the Munich botanist Carl Friedrich Philipp Martius (1794–1868) who was to set out on his voyage to Brazil the following year. A Society of Corresponding Botanists? Neither in library catalogues nor in relevant search engines on the Internet you will find anything about it. This society existed during the first decades of the 19th century. It appears to have been a ―Pflanz- schule‖ — a plant nursery — where not only various kinds of plants were thriving, but also young people were given the opportunity to evolve into experienced botanists. This society, which is even hardly known in the history of science, shall be the subject of the presentation. While inquiring persons for a historical pharmacy subject, Bastian Röther came across the Society of Corresponding Botanists. -

The Arthur Herbarium Centennial: 100 Years of Uredinology in Indiana and the Great Lakes Region John W. McCain and Joe F. Hennen The Arthur Herbarium, Department of Botany and Plant Pathology Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 In January, 1883, Dr. J. C. Arthur published his first manuscript on uredinology, the study of the taxonomy and biology of the rust fungi, the Uredinales. This we take as the starting date for the Arthur Herbarium. Because the Arthur Herbarium (PUR), now at Purdue University in West Lafayette, In- diana, has now for 100 years been the major site in the United States, and possibly the world, for taxonomic studies of these important plant pathogens, a review of the history of Indiana Uredinology is in order. Parts of Dr. Arthur's story have been published before (11, 16, 17, 19, 24, 30), so new information was sought for this report. The Arthur Herbarium is in its centennial year, but rust collecting in In- diana began more than 100 years ago. Jackson (23) credited the first explicit report of a rust fungus in Indiana to Dr. John M. Coulter in 1876, who found a rust on Lespedeza violacea (L.) Pers. (bush clover: Leguminosae), presumably near Hanover. Because there was then no Arthur Herbarium, Coulter sent the rust specimen to Dr. Charles H. Peck, New York State Museum at Albany, for iden- tification. Peck indentified the fungus as Uromyces lespedezae-procumbentis (Schw.) Curtis, then called U. lespedezae-violaceae Schw., but added, "... inasmuch as the name is objectionable both because of its com- pound character and because of it implied limitation of the habitat of the fungus, which occurs on the leaves of all of our species of Lespedeza, it seems best to . -

David Heinrich Hoppe: Der Marsch Über Den Heiligenbluter Tauern
©Regensburgische Botanische Gesellschaft von 1790 e. V. Hoppea, Denkschr. Regensb. Bot. Ges. 50 (1991): 31 -50 David Heinrich Hoppe: Der Marsch über den Heiligenbluter Tauern Ein bislang unveröffentlichtes Manuskript aus dem Archiv der Regensburgischen Botanischen Gesellschaft von Wolfgang Ilg, Isny Einleitung In seiner Eröffnungsrede zur ersten feierlichen Sitzung der neugegründeten Regens burgischen Botanischen Gesellschaft am 30. Oktober 1790 wies der Präsident J. J. Kohlhaas vor allem auf die Tatsache hin, daß es Auswärtige waren, die für ein ihnen ’’eigentlich fremdes Volk [die Regensburger Bevölkerung], das nur dem teutschen Namen nach mit ihnen verwandt ist, eine edle Anstalt” schufen1. Der Apotheker David Heinrich Hoppe2, der 1790 zusammen mit E. W. Martius und J. A. Stall knecht die Regensburgische Botanische Gesellschaft gründete, war, ebenso wie seine Kollegen, kein Regensburger. Im Jahr 1786 hatte er, von Wolfenbüttel kommend, eine Stelle in der Elefanten-Apotheke in Regensburg schon mit der klaren Vorstellung angetreten, dem Süden und damit der von ihm ersehnten, reichhaltigen Flora näher zu kommen3. Von hier aus botanisierte er in der Umgebung von Regensburg, begleitet zumeist von Kollegen und machte sich schnell mit der hiesigen Flora vertraut. So konnte er bereits 1787 an einem Verzeichnis der Pflanzen der Umgebung von Regensburg mitarbeiten4. Wenn ihm sein Aufenthalt in Süddeutschland auch als eine Verbesse rung seiner bisherigen Verhältnisse erscheinen mochte, so war dies jedoch nicht die Erfüllung aller seiner Wünsche, da er "von jeher eine große Neigung zum Reisen hatte"5. Diese Ambition war gerade in der damaligen Zeit nur zu verständlich: Viele Naturforscher gingen auf Reisen oder rüsteten sich für Expeditionen in fremde Erdteile, darunter ganz besonders die Botaniker, denn von der Studierstube aus ließen sich damals keine sensationellen Entdeckungen machen. -
