Pioneers of Allelopathy: XV. Stephen O. Duke

摘要

Stephen O. Duke has a research career of almost 50 years in plant science and chemical ecology, with much of it in allelopathy. Virtually all of his almost 500 publications have dealt with pest management, especially weed management. He has been inolved in discovery of natural phytotoxins (including allelochemicals) with new molecular targets that might be used to develop new herbicides, elucidation and manipulation of allelochemical biosynthetic pathways, and determinaiton of mechanisms of avoiding allelochemical-caused autoxicity. He has been President or Chair of numerous scientific societies, including the International Allelopathy Society (IAS), the International Weed Science Society, and the Agrochemical Division, American Chemical Society. His awards include the Molisch Award (IAS) and Fellow of the American Chemical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
