The Department of Plant Sciences at UC Davis recently received a new Postharvest Group Endowment from the trust of Leonard and Marsaille Morris in the amount of $100,000. The funds generated from the interest on this endowment are to be used for postharvest research and education. Leonard Morris was a Professor of Postharvest Physiology at UC Davis from 1941 to 1982 and he died at age 88 on 23 January, 2003.
A number of photos taken by Morris continue to be utilized on the Postharvest Technology Research & Information Center's web site, including the attached physical defect photo of asparagus bending. More than 20 articles authored or co-authored by Morris are available on the Center's web-based library.
