Current Status of Wheat Stem Rust Race Ug99 in South Africa
Current status of wheat stem rust race Ug99 in South Africa Stem rust (black rust) is an important disease of bread wheat in South Africa. It is frequently found in the winter rainfall wheat growing regions of the Western Cape, sometimes reaching epide mic levels and causing significant economic loss. Susceptible cultivars could suffer more than 35% yield loss. The main sign of stem rust is the development of dark-red, elliptical pustules (masses of spores) mainly on the stem, and sometimes on the leaf and head of wheat.

Heinrich Anton De Bary
日 植 病 報 54: 668-670 (1988) Ann. Phytopath. Soc. Japan 54: 668-670 (1988) 特 別 講 演 Heinrich Anton de Bary Johan Dekker President of ISPP We briefly reviewed the development of our young International Society for Plant Pathology during the past five years. We should remember, however, that also the science of plant pathology itself is not very old. This year we commemorate that 100 years ago, in 1888, Anton de Bary died. This famous German botanist put the study of plant diseases on a scientific basis, and is therefore known as the father of plant pathology. The organizing committee asked me to say a few words about this great pioneer and his work. Heinrich Anton de Bary was born on 27 January 1831 at Frankfurt am Main, in Germany. The French sounding name De Bary stems from the village of Barry, where his forbears came from, situated in the French speaking part of Belgium, 10km east of Tournai or Doornik. Anton followed the profession of his father and became a medical doctor in 1853. However, his prime interest was in plants, algae and fungi, which he investigated as a hobby already at school and during his medical study. In the same year that he became a medical doctor, in 1853, he published his first major work in this direction: 'Untersuchungen fiber die Brandpilze and die durch sic verursachten Krank heiten der Pflanzen' (Research on smut fungi and the plant diseases caused by them). He was the first one who proved that fungi could infect and attack healthy plants. -

CEREAL RUST Report No: 1 BULLETIN April 17, 1984 From: Issued By: CEREAL RUST LABORATORY AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE U, S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, ST. PAUL 55108 (In cooperation with the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station) The cold winter and cool spring weather has slowed development of small grains to 1-2 weeks behind normal across the southern United States. In most of this region, moisture has been adequate but in south Texas the crop is under moisture stress. In the central and northern U.S. wheat growing areas, the winter was cold with spotty snow cover. In southern Nebraska and ~orthern Kansas, winter k i 11 i ng was more severe than normal due to the lack of snow cover. In the central plains, spring seeding of oats and barley is in full swing. In the northern plains, the initial planting of spring grains started but was delayed by rains. Warm drying weather should soon result in the resumption of planting. Wheat stem rust--In 1984, the first wheat stem rust was observed in McNair 701 disease detection plots at Victoria and Uvalde, Texas, experiment stations on April 7. At the Victoria site, the rust overwintered and with the increase in spring temperatures the rust increased to the point where it killed the plants. In the Uvalde plots, the rust infection was approximately three weeks old. Scattered pustules developed from spores that were deposited with rainfall. These spores probably originated some distance from the plot. These are the only reports of wheat stem rust in the United States at the present time. -

In addition to being fine mycological books in their own right, they have a great provenance, coming from the libraries of several members of the Fries family – the leading botanist and mycologist family in Sweden. All of the books are from the library of Nils Fries (1912–94), many from that of his grandfather Theodor (Thore) M. Fries (1832–1913), and a few from the library of Nils’ great grandfather Elias M. Fries (1794–1878), “fa- ther of Swedish mycology”. All three were botanists and professors at Uppsala University, as were many other members of the family, often with an orientation towards mycology. Nils Fries field of study was the procreation of mushrooms. Furthermore, Nils Fries has had a partiality for interesting provenances in his purchases – and many international mycologists are found among the former owners of the books in the catalogue. Four of the books are inscribed to Elias M. Fries, and it is probable that more of them come from his collection. Thore M. -

In this plan, we will briefly introduce the physical and biological setting, past land use, and current uses of the Domain. The remainder of the plan consists of an assessment of the forest, which has been divided into six conservation areas. These conservation areas contain multiple management compartments, and the six areas have similarities in topographical position and past land use. Finally, the desired future condition and project summary of each conservation area and compartment has been outlined. Background The University of the South consists of an academic campus (382 acres) with adjacent commercial and residential areas (783 acres) that are embedded within and surrounded by diverse natural lands (11,838 acres). The term “Domain” is used interchangeably to describe both the entire ~13,000 acres and the 11,800-acre natural land matrix (also referred to as the “Greater Domain”). -

Norman E. Borlaug 1914–2009 A Biographical Memoir by Ronald L. Phillips ©2013 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. NORMAN ERNEST BORLAUG March 25, 1914–September 12, 2009 Elected to the NAS, 1968 He cultivated a dream that could empower farmers; He planted the seeds of hope; “ He watered them with enthusiasm; He gave them sunshine; He inspired with his passion; He harvested confidence in the hearts of African farmers; He never gave up. The above words are those of Yohei Sasakawa, chairman of Japan’s Nippon Foundation, written” in memory of Norman E. Borlaug. The author is the son of Ryoichi Sasakawa, who created the Sasakawa Africa Association that applied Borlaug’s work to Africa—the focus of much of the scientist’s efforts in his later years. The passage By Ronald L. Phillips reflects Borlaug’s lifelong philosophy and his tremendous contributions to humanity. His science of wheat breeding, his training of hundreds of developing-country students, and his ability to influence nations to commit to food production are recognized and appreciated around the world. Borlaug was one of only five people to have received all three of the following awards during their lifetimes: the Nobel Peace Prize (1970); the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1977); and the Congressional Gold Medal (2007), which is the highest award that the U.S. government can bestow on a civilian. (The other four were Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Elie Weisel.) Borlaug was elected to the National Academy of Sciences of the United States in 1968 and in 2002 received its Public Welfare Medal, which recognizes “distinguished contributions in the application of science to the public welfare.” At a White House ceremony in 2006, President George W. -
