During
1994 the IRRDB Medal Committee chose Dr J-L Jacob as the first
recipient of the IRRDB Gold Medal: the presentation was made
in Paris in May 1995. Dr Jacob has worked for CIRAD-CP and
the former IRCA for 27 years during which time he has made
substantial contributions to the progress of research on the
physiology and biochemistry of Hevea latex as exemplified
by over 120 papers he has authored or co-authored. To quote
from the submission made on his behalf, "his work on
the concept of latex diagnosis has enabled plant physiology
to be placed in the service of planters".
