THE NEWSLETTER of the AMERICAN SOCIETY of PLANT PHYSIOLOGISTS Volume 26, Number 5 September/October 1999 THE NEWSLETTER OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGISTS Volume 26, Number 5 September/October 1999 Debby Delmer Assumes ASPP Presidency October 1 r. Deborah Delmer, professor and chair of the DSection of Plant Biology at the University of California, Davis, will become president of the American Society of Plant Physiologists October 1, 1999. She will lead the Society in 1999-2000 and continue on as immediate past president in 2000­ 2001. She replaces Brian Larkins as president. Larkins will continue on as immediate past president in 1999-2000. Dr. Delmer earned her A.B. degree in bacteriology with honors in 1963 from Indiana University and her Ph.D. in cell biology in 1968 from the University of California, San Diego, studying tryptophan biosynthesis in plants. Her long-standing research III interest in the structure and biosynthesis of the plant cell wall began when she worked as a postdoc with Peter Albersheim studying the enzyme sucrose synthase. Prior to her move to California in 1997, Debby Delmer she held faculty positions at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and at the MSU-DOE Plant Research to associate directly with glucan synthases.

EVERT ATHERINE ESAU, WORLD renowned botanist, recipient of Kthe National Medal of Science, author of six textbooks, and teacher par excellence, died June 4, 1997, at her home in Santa Barbara, California. She was ninety-nine years young. Her work on plant structure covered seven-plus decades and led to much of the current research on plant function. Throughout her career, Esau continued research on phlo- em both in relation to the effects of phloem-limited viruses on plant structure and development and to the unique struc- ture of the sieve tube as a conduit for food. She demon- strated an exceptional ability for attacking basic problems and she set new standards of excellence for the investiga- tion of anatomical problems in the plant sciences. Esau was born on April 3, 1898, in the city of Yekaterinoslav, now called Dnepropetrovsk, in the Ukraine. She lived there until the end of 1918, when she and her family fled to Germany during the Bolshevik Revolution.

    of California Oral History Office University Regional California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, Women in Botany Project June McCaskill HERBARIUM SCIENTIST UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS With an Introduction by John Tucker An Interview Conducted by Ann Lage in 1988 of California Copyright (c\ 1989 by The Regents of the University Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between the University of California and June McCaskill dated February 28, 1989. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.
