Interview of Dr. D.L. Bailey by Don Phillipson. Subjects discussed include: Bailey's work at the Winnipeg Rust Lab from 1926 to 1928, and transfer to University of Toronto as a professor of plant pathology from 1928 to 1965, to provide Canadian-trained staff for contemplated expansion of Canadian research, since the Canadian chiefs were averse to U.S.-trained staff; Dr. H.T. Gussow; toughest rust lab job was done by taxonomy (Dr. Margaret Newton); in 1929? Bailey attended Rust Conference as plant pathologist in the Canadian Division of Botany; Bailey's inspiration was W.P. Fraser, a world leader in rust research, as Bailey worked with him at Indian Head, where Fraser planned a main rust research program before the rust lab was created; genetics of plant breeding for disease resistance is and was simple - if contributors of plant pathology, agronomy and others were all taken together; one gene might carry resistance to half a dozen races of rust but there were 50 odd races to deal with; Cora Hinds, Winnipeg Free Press writer; and wheat genetics vis-à-vis the fruit fly - W.P. Fraser's work was of Nobel quality - a relatively long life of wheat plant made it less fruitful organism for textbook genetics than fly. <1h 17m>
