The Scientific Roots of Modern Plant Biotechnology
One of the stellar achievements of twentieth century plant biology was the genetic transformation of somatic cells enabling the regeneration of whole plants that were stably transformed and capable of transmitting the inserted genetic material to subsequent generations. This achievement grew out of three independent lines of research initiated early in the twentieth century: plant tissue culture, regeneration of plants from single somatic cells, and the study of crown gall disease. The early discoveries made in these areas represent a combination of basic scientific research and technological innovations and led to the development of genetically transformed crop species expressing traits unobtainable by conventional breeding. Each of these fields can be traced back to a single research publication (Haberlandt, ; Smith and Townsend, ; White, a) that later came to be considered as the foundation of the field. It is instructive to fo

Alumni Achievement Award (Est. )
George Lundeen is president of Lundeen Sculpture, a visual arts studio he founded in Loveland, Colo., in the mids. A native of Holdrege, Neb., Lundeen was a Fulbright-Hayes Scholar who studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze in Florence, Italy. He received a bachelor of arts from Hastings College in Nebraska before beginning the MFA program at Illinois. Lundeen has been commissioned to sculpt portraits and interpretive works for universities, municipalities, foundations and corporations. His commissioned work for the U of I includes the iconic statue of football legend Red Grange () that stands outside Memorial Stadium, and one of Dick Butkus () that is located in front of the Henry Dale and Betty Smith Football Performance Center. In , the University of Illinois Springfield commissioned him to create a sculpture of Abraham Lincoln for its campus.
Lundeen’s commissions have resulted in work for the Nebraska Historical Foundation, the Univ
