Norman W. Simmonds’s long and distinguished professional career has

centered around three major crops, namely, bananas, potatoes, and sugar
cane. Along the way, he has made additional substantial contributions
in other crops, to plant breeding in general, to general taxonomy, eco-
nomic botany, and tropical farming systems. In all these fields he has
contributed creatively and provocatively. His output has been enor-
mous, diverse, and profound.

CAREER

Norman Willison Simmonds was born in Bedford (England) on Decem-

ber 15, 1922. His father was a civil servant and his mother of Scottish
(Perthshire) farming stock, the Willisons, from whom he takes his mid-
dle name. Norman attended Whitgift School in Croydon from 1934 to
1940 and from there won an Open Exhibition (scholarship) to Downing
College, Cambridge. At school he was stimulated, as were so many bud-
ding botanists, by Cecil T. Prime, that notable teacher. While at Cam-
bridge, he was much influenced by Professor D. G. Catcheside, who

encouraged his interest in genetics and cytogenetics. After a distin-

guished undergraduate career, he was awarded a First class degree in the
Natural Sciences Tripos part II (Botany, with a strong bent to genetics
and plant breeding). In 1943 he was granted a Colonial Agricultural
Scholarship and studied at Cambridge and the Imperial College of Trop-
ical Agriculture (ICTA) in Trinidad and in 1944 obtained his B.A. from
the University of Cambridge. This was followed by an M.A. in 1948 and
later, in 1966, a Sc.D. The introduction to tropical agriculture afforded
by the time spent in Trinidad was to be the start of a life-time interest
in tropical agriculture, the crops and the demands, following his
employment as a Botany lecturer at ICTA in 1945. His stay in the West
Indies was to last for 15 years, ending in 1959 as Senior Cytogeneticist,
Banana Research Scheme. During this period he established himself as
a vigorous researcher, initially with K. S. Dodds, developing a banana
breeding strategy through constructed diploids crossed to triploids,
thence to tetraploids. It was also during this time that he started to
develop ideas on genetic resources, conservation, and utilization fol-
lowing two major collecting trips to East Africa (1948) and the Pacific,
Malaysia, Thailand, and North India (1954/55). Material from these trips
is now proving of value as later generation parents, but at the time led
to enhanced evolutionary understanding of the group. This extensive
experience led to two key books, the standard monograph Bananas
(1959, 1966, with R. H. Stover in 1987), long regarded as the banana
researcher’s bible, and Evolution of the Bananas (1962) in addition to
40 papers published during his period in Trinidad.
In 1959, Norman Simmonds returned to the United Kingdom as Head
of the Potato Genetics Department at the John Innes Institute at Hertford,
rejoining K. S. Dodds, the then Director. He characteristically threw
himself into research in this new crop challenge, publishing an array of
papers ranging over tuber dormancy, seed germination, polyploidy, cal-
lus differentation, virus transmission, chimeral and other mutants, link-
age studies, and disease resistance. It was during this period that he
developed the concept of genetic base broadening, now found to be fun-
damental and effective for potatoes. This has proved to be a valuable
recurring theme in much of his later work as it became obvious that such
an approach had general applicability to a very wide range of crop
species. It is one of Norman’s regrets that, while his ideas on base broad-
ening have received wide theoretical acceptance, they have been rela-
tively little applied in practice, although enjoying considerable success
in sugar cane improvement and to a lesser extent in oil palm and rub-
ber development. While at the John Innes Institute, he started two very
3499 P-01 9/26/2000 1:07 PM Page 3

important consultancies: on West Indies sugar breeding in Barbados

and on rubber in Malaysia. This broadening of his crop interests allowed
him to bring experiences in other clonal crops to the benefit of these two
economically important tropical plantation crops. These consultancies
among others allowed him to build up a wide circle of friends and
acquaintances. He realized that breeders of particular crops have much
to gain from crosslinking with the experience of others. This developed
over the years and could be said to have culminated in the book Evolu-
tion of Crop Plants (1976), edited by Norman Simmonds but consisting
of the authoritative contributions of almost 86 authors, experts in their
field, in addition to six chapters contributed by himself. This extremely
popular book has done much to provoke interest in crop plants and the
systematic approach required by the editor (introduction, cytotaxonomic
background, early history, recent history, and prospects) has proved to
be particularly valuable to educators wherever crop evolution and breed-
ing is taught. The original book has now been replaced by a second edi-
tion (Smartt and Simmonds, 1995) which, in addition to the necessary
updating, has retained the much valued presentation formula.
In 1965, Norman Simmonds moved northwards nearer to his family’s
origin, when he took on the post of Director of the Scottish Plant Breed-
ing Station, then at Pentlandfield on the outskirts of Edinburgh. This
demanding role, at a time of increasing pressure for new varieties suited
to Scottish conditions left little time for personal research and many of
the ideas initiated at the John Innes Institute, had to be left to others to
pick up. However, he did make time to re-establish his education links,
developing teaching initiatives with the Botany Department of the Uni-
versity of Edinburgh and this thread would be carried through to the
final phase of his professional career when he joined the staff of the
Edinburgh School of Agriculture in 1976, then under the enlightened
direction of Professor Noel Robertson. This return to academia allowed
Norman to bring his knowledge and experience to bear in a wide range
of areas. One of his first activities was to produce a new and much
needed textbook on plant breeding (Principles of Crop Improvement,
1979). This provided students and practitioners with a synthesis of cur-
rent breeding approaches along with a bibliography that would allow the
motivated into the current literature in any particular area. This has
proved to be a very worthy and highly regarded addition to the texts cur-
rently available on plant breeding and, having recently undergone some
modifications, has appeared as a 2nd Edition (Simmonds and Smartt,
1999). During this period and continuing well after his formal retirement
in 1982 at the age of 60, he developed consultancies and took ever wider
3499 P-01 9/26/2000 1:07 PM Page 4

interests in tropical crops at large. He travelled widely throughout the

tropics, to some 20 countries, partly as Chairman of the Quinquennial
Review of the International Board for Plant Genetic Resources and later
on behalf of FAO and the World Bank. For the last he prepared a review
(1983/84) which was assimilated into Bank policy though not without
sociological controversy. In addition to the above he continued to make
valuable contributions to consultancies carried out for Sugar Cane Breed-
ing, in the West Indies; Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia; Booker-
Daehnfeldt, Denmark; and Copersucar, Brazil, to name but a few.
Although well into his retirement now, Professor Simmonds remains
no less active academically and continues to review and publish on a
wide range of topics, not only within his broad subject area, but also in
relation to his hobbies, most notably on trout fishing. Major recent
reviews by him have covered horizontal resistance to diseases on crops,
an interest originally fired by John Niederhauser almost 30 years before
in Mexico; potato propagation by seed as distinct from clonal propaga-
tion by tubers (a recently fashionable topic); tropical crops and their
improvement; and, most recently, an informal history of statistics for
Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 17. His interest in statistics goes back
to the start of his academic training at University and has been demon-
strated throughout much of his published work, indicating both his lik-
ing for the subject and his growing appreciation of its importance for
biology and agriculture. Although largely self-taught, he has always
been able to focus on the principles and build upon these to produce a
clearer understanding of the importance and applicability of statistics
in plant genetics breeding and agriculture for the benefit of students and
practitioners.

THE MAN

Norman Simmonds is a unique and stimulating individual, with diverse

interests. He is an iconoclast, a gifted scientist and profound thinker, a
stimulating teacher, a loyal colleague and friend, and a kind and gener-
ous man who has been ably supported in all his endeavors by his lov-
ing wife, Christa. As a result of his teaching duties he has profoundly
affected hundreds of students and has directly influenced many people
now in senior positions in agricultural research and administration. His
many travels and consultancies have made him a well known and well
regarded figure in tropical agriculture and in many developing countries
of the world. He is a world authority in many areas and crops. As a result
3499 P-01 9/26/2000 1:07 PM Page 5

1. DEDICATION 5

of his skill as a writer and editor he has become one of the most respected
names in plant breeding, stimulating interest and endeavor in others.
Over the years he has received many accolades. Recognition by the
University of Edinburgh for his contributions in research and education
resulted in a well deserved Honorary Professorship in 1975, and simi-
larly he was elected to be a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in
1970. One international award which gave him considerable pleasure
was that of Distinguished Economic Botanist by the American Society
of Economic Botany in 1991, the only non-American then to be so
awarded. Norman Simmonds’s career, which has demonstrated clear
commitment to improving knowledge, has been an inspiration to us all
and we proudly dedicate this volume of Plant Breeding Reviews to him.
