This issue of Australian Journal of Botany sees the first in a new series of scholarly reviews to be called the .Turner Reviews. in honour of John Stewart Turner, Ph.D. (Cantab.), FAA (1908.1991). John Turner was Professor of Botany and Plant Physiology at The University of Melbourne from 1938 to 1973. He was a foundation member of the Advisory Committee of the Australian Journal of Botany. The present Advisory Committee initiated the Turner Reviews in recognition of Turner.s wide-reaching influences on several generations of botanists and conservationists in Australia (see Rowan and Ashton, this volume). The Turner Reviews aim to provide critical, state-of-the-art evaluations that advance our knowledge in current, key areas of botanical research. The Turner Reviews will be commissioned by invitation, and will be numbered in sequence. A number of free reprints in a distinctive cover will be provided free of charge to authors. A Reviews Subcommittee has been formed to select authors and to oversee the refereeing process. The members are Dr Peter Attiwill, Dr Marilyn Ball and Professor Byron Lamont. We would greatly appreciate advice and suggestions on prospective reviewers for this important new series.

Ralph Slatyer (16 April 1929–26 July 2012) had a distinguished career in the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and the Australian National University, in plant-water relations and plant succession, leading the development of physiological plant ecology. He was the founding Professor of Environmental Biology at the Research School of Biological Sciences, at the Australian National University and then Director of the Research School of Biological Sciences, 1984–9. He was Australian Ambassador to United Nations Educational and Scientific Cultural Organisation (1978–81), and as Australia’s first Chief Scientist (1989–92), he set up the Cooperative Research Centres.

Shaorong Yang and Huanfeng Jiang of the South China University of Technology assembled (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 7219) the β-lactone 3 by the Pd-catalyzed addition of 2 to the alkyne 1. Jack R. Norton of Columbia University observed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 1036) that the vanadium-mediated reduc­tive cyclization of 4 proceeded by a free radical mechanism, leading to the cis 3,4-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran 5. The cyclization of 6 to 7 developed (J. Org. Chem. 2015, 80, 965) by Glenn M. Sammis of the University of British Columbia also involved H atom transfer. Amy R. Howell of the University of Connecticut devised (J. Org. Chem. 2015, 80, 5196) the ring expansion of the β-lactone 8 to the tet­rahydrofuran 9. Dmitri V. Filippov and Jeroen D. C. Codée of Leiden University showed (J. Org. Chem. 2015, 80, 4553) that the net reductive alkylation of the lac­tone 10 led to 11 with high diastereocontrol. A. Stephen K. Hashmi of the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg optimized (Chem. Eur. J. 2015, 21, 427) the gold-mediated rearrangement of the ester 12 to the lactone 13. This reaction apparently proceeded by the coupling of the metalated lac­tone with a propargylic carbocationic species. Benjamin List of the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung developed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 7703) an organocatalyst that mediated the addition of 15 to 14, leading to 16 in high ee. Scott E. Denmark of the University of Illinois published (Nature Chem. 2015, 6, 1056) a detailed study of the enantioselective cyclization of 17 to 18. Shunichi Hashimoto of Hokkaido University established (Tetrahedron Lett. 2015, 56, 1397) that his catalyst was effective for the cycli­zation of 19 to 20. Debendra K. Mohapatra of the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology showed (J. Org. Chem. 2015, 80, 1365) that allyl trimethylsilane could trap the intermediate from the cyclization of 21, leading to 22 with high diastereocontrol. Young-Ger Suh of Seoul National University used (Chem. Commun. 2015, 51, 9026) a Pd catalyst to cyclize 23 to (−)-deguelin 24. John Montgomery of the University of Michigan showed (Org. Lett. 2015, 17, 1493) that the Ni-catalyzed reduc­tive cyclization of 25 to 26 proceeded with high diastereoselectivity.

David Catcheside was one of the seminal figures in the post-war development of genetics, both in the United Kingdom and Australia. He made distinguished contributions in several different areas: plant genetics and cytology, the genetic effects of radiation, fungal biochemical genetics, controls of genetic recombination and, in his retirement, bryology. As a teacher and postgraduate supervisor he played a large part in launching the next generation of geneticists in both hemispheres. As a professor and administrator he was responsible for several new institutional developments including the first Australian Department of Genetics, the first Department of Microbiology at Birmingham and, perhaps most importantly, the Research School of Biological Sciences of the Australian National University.

Following wartime work on radar and a University of London PhD awarded for measurement of absolute power, Bob Street developed his interest in low-temperature magnetism in solids while on the staff at Sheffield University. In 1960 he became Foundation Professor of Physics at Monash University where he built a department with strong capabilities in solid state physics. His own research continued at Monash but was put aside when he became Director of the Research School of Physical Sciences at the Australian National University (1973–7) and then Vice-Chancellor at the University of Western Australia (1978–86). Although the ANU experience was not a happy one, he flourished at UWA where his initiatives and strategic thinking laid the groundwork for advancement of the university. Street had kept up with advances in his research field and upon retirement he went back to it with notable success in publication, supervision of research students, acquisition of research grants and fruitful collaborations. He is fondly remembered as a first class physicist with a passion for cricket.

Objective: Determine the level of knowledge and attitudes about organ donation and xenotransplantation in students from a National University of Lambayeque. Methods: The sampling carried out was probabilistic of a simple random type and the sample was made up of 100 university students. An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted to assess levels of knowledge and attitudes about organ donation. A survey of 20 dichotomous key questions was applied. Results: 53 women (53.0%) and 47 (47.0%) men were interviewed. It was observed that 76% do not know about the Law on the Promotion of Solidarity Donation of Human Organs and Tissues in Peru. Likewise, 96% know the organs and tissues that can be donated, 61% of the students have talked with their family about the subject of organ donation. 76% would be willing to donate their organs or tissues after life, and 88% would donate their relatives' organs to save the life of another relative. Conclusions: In the Faculty of Biological Sciences of the University it was observed that the knowledge of young people about organ donation was acceptable, although certain aspects need to be clarified.
