OBITUARY

On behalf of the Trustees and the Editorial Board of JHSB, I regret to announce the recent passing of Professor Pat Berjak (University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) and offer our sincere condolences to all her family, friends and colleagues. Pat was a highly valued member of the Editorial Board of JHSB since joining in 2006. Her reviews and recommendations on manuscripts related to seed biology were incisive, unambiguous, constructive and extremely helpful to authors and to me. She will be greatly missed. Her family and colleagues have prepared an obituary that can be accessed by clicking here.

Regretfully
T. Michael A. Wilson, Editor-in-Chief
