Herbicide Resistance and World Grains (ePub)

Stephen B. Powles, Ph.D., received his B.Sc. in crop science from the University of Western Sydney, his M.Sc. from Michigan State University, and his Ph.D. in plant physiology from the Australian National University. Postdoctoral research followed at Stanford University (Carnegie Plant Biology) and at C.N.R.S., Gif-sur-Yvette, France. Dr. Powles returned to Australia in 1983 and built a large research program on fundamental and applied aspects of herbicide resistance at the University of Adelaide. From 1995 to 1997 he was director of an Australia-wide research program on weed management (CRC). In 1998 he was appointed professor at the University of Western Australia and director of a major research initiative focused on herbicide resistance and management. Dr. Powles is the author of more than 120 research papers and reviews on herbicide resistance. He has given numerous invited lectures at international meetings. Many graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who have graduated from his herbicide-resistance program now work worldwide in industry and academia. In 1997 he was elected an International Honorary Fellow of the Weed Science Society of America and in 1999 he was elected to the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. Aside from family and his professional interests in the plant sciences and agriculture, he remains active in field hockey. Dale L. Shaner, Ph.D., is a senior research fellow at BASF Corporation, Princeton, NJ. He is a member of the Agricultural Products Research Department at the Agricultural Research Center in Princeton, where he conducts research and provides technical support on imidazolinone-resistant crops, herbicide-resistance management, and herbicide mode of action. Prior to his present position, Dr. Shaner was the director of the Ag Biotech Department of American Cyanamid. Dr. Shaner received his B.A. in botany in 1970 from DePauw University, his M.A. in plant ecology in 1972 from the University of Colorado, and
