Beschreibung

Plant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base; understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital to the security of food systems worldwide. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a fundamental understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops. It is a serial title that appears in the form of one or two volumes per year.

Bikram Gill: Cytogeneticist and Wheat Man

Bikram Gill's brothers proudly refer to him as their “Wheat Man” and, in fact, the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers named him the “Wheat Man of the Year” in 1997. His numerous awards for his wheat research attest to this fame (Table 1.1). Bikram had always wanted to be a scientist of the type who helps people make the world better. Although he thought his botanical training in India was a waste of time, he now knows better. It was his mentor Charlie Rick who taught him that using science to understand nature and serve society is both exciting and rewarding. Nearly five decades later that commitment has helped his dream become reality. Bikram has won more than $20 million in extramural grants to support his research, including significant funding from the Kansas Wheat Commission and the USDA for establishing 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 350 refereed journal publications, 230 abstracts, 17 book chapters, and 54 newsletter items. He has contributed papers to more than 60 conference proceedings and partnered in the release of 54 germplasm lines. He has presented more than 200 lectures both nationally and internationally. He is the coauthor of Chromosome Biology. Volume 37 of Plant Breeding Reviews is dedicated to Bikram Gill's illustrious and extraordinary career.

I. Early Life: Emergence of a Cytogeneticist

Bikram S. Gill was born on 31 October 1943, in a small village called Dhudike, District Moga, Punjab, India. He was the fifth of 10 children. His parents were farmers; his father also served as a lambardar (revenue collector) and a sarpanch (mayor) of the village. Bikram was always very interested in education and worked hard on his homework, graduating from high school in 1957 first in his class. He studied at DM College at Moga as a premedical student from 1959 to 1961. Bikram then went on to earn his B.S. degree at Khalsa College, Amritsar, in 1963, followed by B.S. Honors and M.S. Honors degrees in 1966 from Punjab University at Chandigarh where he became really interested in botany. Bikram lectured premedical students at GHG Khalsa College, Gurusar Sudhar, from 1966 to 1968.

In 1968, he was admitted to Brigham Young University where his brother, Gurcharan, was teaching mathematics. His brother had tried to talk him into working toward being a medical doctor, but he insisted on botany because of his dream of feeding the world. Working with Howard Stutz at Brigham Young, Bikram developed a chromosome staining technique for cereals that impressed Ralph Anderson very much. Ralph had studied with Charlie Rick at the University of California (UC), Davis, and advised Bikram that was where he needed to be. Bikram began his graduate work with Charlie in 1969. His Ph.D. thesis was on the cytogenetics of tertiary aneuploids with unusual transmission characteristics in tomato. When he came to Kansas State, he was frequently seen wearing a green fishing cap, Charlie's trademark.
