Plant Pathology Library : New and Recommended Resources

Brian Steffenson and the Cereal Disease Lab are featured in the March 2010 issue of WIRED Magazine. The article highlights Ug99 stem rust in Africa and the Middle East and the efforts being made to prevent its spread.

The University of Minnesota Libraries has an e-journal subscription to Wired. A physical copy of this issue may also become available through the U of MN Libraries shortly. For now, you can also read the article online through the Wired Magazine website.

The University Libraries have received funding to digitize the Norman E. Borlaug Papers and selections from the papers of E.C. Stakman, Helen Hart, John Gibler, and records from the department of Plant Pathology. Once digitized, these collections, held in University Archives, will form an online resource that conveys the Minnesota roots of the "Green Revolution," a term coined in the 1960's to describe worldwide advances in food crop production that began in the 1940's and saved millions from starvation. The project, which will be completed by May 2011, is being supported by a $27,667 Minnesota Historical and Cultural Grant, a program supported by the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment. Approved by Minnesota voters in November 2008, the state constitutional amendment provides for an increase in Minnesota state sales tax to support outdoor heritage, clean water, parks and trails, as well as arts, history, and cultural heritage.
