Lawrence Ogilvie (5 July 1898 – 16 April 1980) was a Scottish plant pathologist. Ogilvie was a UK expert〔''Newsletter of the Federation of British Plant Pathologists'' No 6, Winter 1980, pages 47-48 ''Obituary notices: Lawrence Ogilvie'' by H Croxall〕 on the diseases of commercially grown vegetables and wheat from the 1930s to the 1960s. In the 1920s — when agriculture, rather than tourism, was Bermuda's major industry — he identified the virus that had devastated for 30 years the island's lily-bulb crop. He re-established the vital export trade to the USA and increased it to seven-fold the volume of ten years earlier.〔''Annual reports of the Bermuda Department of Agriculture'' 1923-26〕〔Page 4 of the January 1929 ''Royal Botanic Society of London: Quarterly Summary''〕〔(Onlinelibrary.wiley.com )〕〔October 1968 ''Monthly Bulletin of the Bermuda Department of Agriculture and Fisheries'' article by Lawrence Ogilvie〕〔(Kosmix.com )〕 In total he wrote over 130 articles about plant diseases in journals of learned societies. ==Early life== Ogilvie was born in Rosehearty in the north of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, on 5 July 1898. His father, the Reverend William Paton Ogilvie was the minister of the Presbyterian church there. He attended Aberdeen Grammar School〔(Dictionary.sensagent.com )〕 and took his BSc and MA at the University of Aberdeen in 1921 as the Fullerton Research Scholar with special distinction in Botany and Zoology. He was also awarded the Collie Prize for the most distinguished student in Botany. In Aberdeen, he lectured on the Alpine flora of China.〔''The Garden'' magazine July 1919〕 At Emmanuel College, Cambridge University, he was awarded an MSc in 1923 for his work on tree slime fluxes, particularly willow, elm, horse chestnut, and apple trees.〔''Transactions of the British Mycological Society'' Volume IX part III, pages 167-182, 31 March 1924 ''Observations on the "Slime Fluxes" of trees'' Lawrence Ogilvie〕〔(Sciencedirect.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lawrence Ogilvie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
