Daphne Osborne

Daphne J. Osborne (7 March 1930^[1] – 16 June 2006) was a British botanist. Her research in the field of plant physiology spanned five decades and resulted in over two hundred papers, twenty of which were published in Nature. Her obituary in The Times described her scientific achievements as "legendary"; that from the Botanical Society of America attributed her success to "her wonderful intellectual style, combined with her proclivity for remarkable and perceptive experimental findings".

Agụmakwụkwọ na ọrụ

A mụrụ ya na India, ebe nna ya bụ onye nchịkwa nke ọchịchị, Osborne gara The Perse School na Cambridge. BSc ya na chemistry na MSc na botany sitere na King's College London.^[1] PhD ya na isiokwu nke ndị na-ahụ maka uto osisi sitere na Mahadum London na Wye College, Kent, ebe onye nlekọta ya bụ Ralph Louis Wain. Ọkwa mbụ ya na postgraduate bụ na Ngalaba Biology nke California Institute of Technology, USA, dị ka onye ọkà mmụta Fulbright, ebe ya na onye na-ahụ maka ihe ọkụkụ bụ Frits Warmolt Went rụkọrọ ọrụ, n'etiti ndị ọzọ.^[1]

A nọrọ ọtụtụ ọrụ Osborne na Council Research Council (ARC), emesịa degharịa aha Council Research Council nke Agricultural and Food (AFRC). N'afọ 1952, ọ sonyeere ARC Unit of Experimental Agronomy na Mahadum Oxford, ebe ọ rụrụ ọrụ ruo mgbe mmechi nke otu ahụ na 1970. Ọ weghaara ọkwa osote onye isi na ngalaba ọhụrụ ARC nke Developmental Botany na Mahadum Cambridge. ^[1] N'oge ọ nọ na Cambridge, ọ ghọrọ nwanyị mbụ nọ na Kọleji Churchill ma lekọta nwa akwụkwọ PhD mbụ nke kọleji. Mgbe e mechiri ngalaba ahụ na 1978, ọ sonyeere AFRC Weed Research Organization na Begbroke na mpụga Oxford, ebe ọ rụrụ ọrụ ruo mgbe e mechiri ya na 1985, wee nweta ọkwa osote onye isi sayensị, ọkwa dị elu na British Civil Service.<

N'afọ 1985, Osborne lara ezumike nká na Civil Service, wee ghọọ prọfesọ nleta na Ngalaba Sayensị nke Mahadum Oxford, yana onye nchọpụta nsọpụrụ nke Mahaduma Open na Somerville College, Oxford. N'afọ 1991, ọ kwagara na Oxford Research Unit nke Open University na Foxcombe Hall, Boars Hill, ebe ọ nọrọ ruo mgbe ọ nwụrụ n'afọ 2006. N'oge ọ nọ na Mahadum Open, ọ duziri ọrụ nyocha mba ụwa nke Royal Society, ma dọtakwara ego site na Unilever, Wellcome Trust na Biotechnology na Biological Sciences Research Council. n'ọtụtụ ebe n'oge ọrụ ya, na-ejide ọkwá dị mkpirikpi na Princeton na California Institute of Technology na USA, na-eleta Argentina, Australia, India, Israel, Malaysia, Nigeria na South Africa.

The hormonal akara nke uto, iche na mmepe na osisi bụ Osborne si ndụ ogologo mmasị mmasị. A maara ya nke ọma maka ọrụ ya na-egosi na ethylene gas bụ hormone osisi sitere n'okike, ọ bụghị ihe sitere na ngwaahịa ma ọ bụ ihe na-emetọ ya, na maka igosi na ethylene, kama abscisic acid, bụ isi nchịkwa nke senescence (ịka nká) na abscission (ịwụfu akụkụ dị ka akwụkwọ).^[1] O mere nnyocha dị ukwuu banyere mmekọrịta dị n'etiti ethylene na auxin (ihe ọkụkụ ọzọ dị mkpa) n'ịchịkwa ọtụtụ akụkụ nke mmepe osisi.
