BIKRAM S. GILL Bikram S. Gill retired from Kansas State University and the Wheat Genetics Resource Center on 16 June, 2018. Bikram Gill was born on 31 October 1943, in the small village of Dhudike, District Moga, Punjab, India. He was the fifth of 10 children. His parents were farm- ers. Bikram was always very interested in education and worked hard on his home- work, graduating from high school in 1957 first in his class. Bikram studied at DM College at Moga as a premed student from 1959 to 1961, and then went on to earn his B.S. degree at Khalsa College, Amritsar, in 1963, followed by a B.S. Honors and an M.S. Honors degrees in 1966 from Punjab University, Chandigarh, where he be- came interested in botany. Bikram lectured premed students at GHG Khalsa College, Gurusar Sudhar, from 1966 to 1968. In 1968, he was admitted to Brigham Young University. In the laboratory of Howard Stutz at Brigham Young, Bikram developed a chromosome staining technique for cereals. Bikram then began graduate work at the University of California, Davis, with Charlie Rick in 1969. His Ph.D. thesis was on the cytogenetics of tertiary aneuploids with unusual transmission characteristics in tomato. After graduating from UC Davis, Bikram moved to the University of Missouri. At Missouri, Bikram had the opportunity to work with the late Ernie Sears and Gordon Kimber, creating the first C-banded karyotypes of wheat and rye chromosomes. A year later, he was with Giles Waines at the University of California, Riverside. At Riverside, Bikram met Lennart Johnson, who introduced him to the world of genetic resources. In October 1977, Bikram hired as an as- sistant professor to work on sugarcane genetics and breeding at the University of Florida, Belle Glade. In 1979, he was hired by Kansas State University as a wheat cytogeneticist and, nearly five decades later, Bikram has won more than $20 million in extramural grants to support his research, including significant funding from the KansasWheat Commission and the USDA for establishing the Wheat Genetics Resource Center, a gene bank at Kansas State University, and wheat genetics research, the McKnight Foundation for Fusarium head blight research, and the National Science Foundation and USDA for wheat genome sequencing. Bikram is the author or coauthor of more than 375 refereed journal publications, 250 abstracts, 20 book chap- ters, and 55 newsletter items. He has contributed papers to more than 60 conference proceedings and partnered in the release of 67 germplasm lines. He has presented more than 225 lectures both nationally and internationally. He is the co- author of Chromosome Biology. Volume 37 of Plant Breeding Reviews is dedicated to Bikram Gill’s career. A complete list of publications of Bikram Gill is available at http://www.k-state.edu/wgrc/Publications/pubstoc.html. 1 A n n u a l W h e a t N e w s l e t t e r V o l. 6 4. PROF. JIANJUN LIU Prof. Jianjun Liu, a famous wheat breeder, born 20 March, 1963, in Rongcheng, Shan- dong, PR China, and is now working in Crop Research Institute Shandong Acad- emy of Agricultural Sciences, PR China. After receiving his B.S. degree in Agronomy from Laiyang Agricultural Col- lege in 1986, he has been engaged in wheat genetics and breeding in the Crop Research Institute of Shandong Academy of Agricul- tural Sciences. He received an M.S. degree in Crop Genetics and Breeding from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing, in 2000. Since 1986, he has been the director of research group of wheat genetics and breeding. Jianjun Liu trained many graduate students and wheat breeders, collaborated with many scientists, and published over 100 research papers regarding wheat breeding theory and technology. Moreover, he has made great breakthroughs in the interaction between wheat quality and high yield, super high yield and wide adaptability, and bred seven groundbreak- ing wheat cultivars, including Jinan 17, Jimai 19, and Jimai 22. Among these cultivars, Jinan 17 is the first high-quality bread wheat planted in China with an area of more than 666,667 ha annually, breaking the tradition that Chinese bread wheat is totally dependent on imports. Jimai 22 has been the most grown cultivar in China for 9 years with more than 10,500 kg/ha at 84 locations in different ecological areas, creating a high yield record of 11,849 kg/ha under a two crop/ year system in Tengzhou, Shandong Province. This cultivar has now been popularized for 17,300,000 ha. So far, the cultivars that Jianjun Liu has bred have been grown in China on more than 29,500,000 ha, for a wheat yield increase of approximately 20,000,000,000 kg, making a great contribution to the protection of national food security.

  • Dr Sanjaya Rajaram's Profile
    Dr Sanjaya Rajaram’s profile Sanjaya Rajaram, born in India and a citizen of Mexico, graduated with his B.S. in Agriculture at the University of Gorakhpur and Masters in genetics and plant breeding at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute in 1962 and 1964 respectively. In 1965 he began his PhD in plant breeding at the University of Sydney on a scholarship from the Rotary Club of Narrabri under Dr. I.A. Watson who had been a fellow graduate student with Norman Borlaug at the University of Minnesota. Watson recommended him to Dr. Borlaug and Dr. Glenn Anderson at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in Mexico, an action that set in motion Rajaram’s distinguished scientific career in wheat research. He implemented a major expansion of Borlaug’s ingenious shuttle-breeding approach in countries beyond Mexico. Dr Rajaram significantly advanced his mentor’s work in improving wheat varieties during a period that has been described as the “golden years” of wheat breeding and production. Like Borlaug, Rajaram had the extraordinary ability to visually identify and select for cross breeding the plant varieties possessing a range of desired characteristics, an ability that was essential to wheat breeding in the 1980s and ‘90s. Rajaram also launched efforts to expand the global scientific wheat network which had not been done before. This led to the accelerated development and worldwide spread of high- yielding wheat varieties, which has kept the expansion of global wheat production ahead of population growth and made wheat even more accessible to the world’s poor. He also realized the importance of nutrition to the poor and strongly supported research on micronutrient-enriched wheat varieties.

  • Dr Sanjaya Rajaram 2017
    Dr Sanjaya Rajaram The honorary degree of Doctor of Science in Agriculture was conferred upon Sanjaya Rajaram by the Pro-Chancellor, Mr Kevin McCann AM at a Faculty of Agriculture and Environment graduation at 2.00pm on 9 December 2017. Citation Pro-Chancellor, it gives me great pleasure to present Dr Sajaya Rajaram, an alumus of this University, to you for admission to the degree of Doctor of Science in Agriculture (honoris causa) in recognition of his exceptional achievements and eminence in the fields of international agriculture and wheat breeding, and with particularly important food security benefits to the developing world. Dr Rajaram was born in 1943 near a small farming village in the state of Uttar Pradesh in northeastern India. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, and Masters in Wheat Breeding and Genetics in India by 1964. In 1965 he came to Australia and studied wheat breeding and genetics for his PhD at the University of Sydney, supported by a scholarship provided by the Rotary Club of Narrabri. He was located at the University’s Plant Breeding Institute in Narrabri, and his supervisors were Professor IA Watson and Nicholas Derera. He was awarded the PhD degree in 1968.
