Newsheadline bar **CDL Research featured in BGRI Newsletter** The Borlaug Global Rust Initiative (BGRI) website Recently featured Dr. Pablo Olivera, a postdoctoral associate with Dr. Yue Jin.  In a video presentation, he discusses work on wheat stem rust in Ethiopia. See the presentation. **CDL Welcomes New Research Leader, Dr. Shahryar Kianian** Dr. Kianian has been selected as the Research Leader for the Cereal Disease Research Unit in St. Paul., MN replacing the former Research Leader, Marty Carson. Dr. Kianian has been engaged in improvement of wheat for the past 15 years.  Prior to joining ARS, Dr. Kianian was on the faculty at North Dakota State University, where his research focused on different means of improving wheat and identifying the tools needed to make this process more efficient.  Dr. Kianian has been the leader in the use of radiation hybrid (RH) mapping to generate high-resolution physical maps.  His research also identified and mapped quantitative trait loci from wild type and wheat land races which imparted resistance to Fusarium head blight.  He is author or coauthor on over 80 peer-reviewed journal publications, numerous edited proceedings, and book chapters. Dr. Kianian is recognized nationally and internationally as an authority of wheat genetics, alloplasmic, and genomics research.  He has been frequently approached to train others in the use of radiation hybrid mapping technology, provide consultation and advice on the application of this technology, and has received numerous invitations to present lectures, organize meetings and write book chapters on these areas.  Dr. Kianian received his BS in Biological Sciences from UC-Irvine, and his PhD in Genetics from UC-Davis.  He was a postdoctoral scientist in the Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics at the University of Minnesota prior to joining North Dakota State University. **Dr. Yue Jin awarded Siehl Prize of Excellence in Agriculture** Dr. Yue Jin was selected for the prestigious Siehl Prize on March 19, 2013.  Read about the award. **Marty Carson, Research Leader Retires** Marty Carson, Research Leader for the USDA-ARS Cereal Disease Laboratory, retired September 30, 2011.  *More info.* **North American Rust Workers Meeting - St. Paul, MN** The annual North American Rust Workers (NARW) Meeting was held on June 12th in St. Paul Minnesota in conjunction with the 2011 Borlaug Global Rust Initiative Technical Workshop (June 13-16) at the Crowne Plaza Riverfront Hotel in downtown St. Paul. Presentations from the NARW meeting **Dr. Yue Jin - 2011 Emerald Honors Research Leadership Award** Dr. Yue Jin, Cereal Disease Laboratory Research Plant Pathologist, was selected by BEYA STEM Minorities in Research Science for their 2011 Emerald Honors Research Leadership Award. **Passing of Dr. Don McVey** Retired CDL researcher, Dr. Don McVey, died on December 16, 2010.
