August 15: Gerty Theresa Cori Borned
Gerty Theresa Cori (1896–1957) was a pioneering biochemist, best known for her discovery of the enzymatic processes involved in the breakdown and synthesis of glycogen, which is fundamental to our understanding of cellular energy metabolism. Along with her husband, Carl Cori, Gerty received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1947, becoming the first woman to be awarded this prestigious honor in the field. Cori's research into biochemical reactions within living cells laid the groundwork for much of modern cellular biochemistry and molecular biology.

Phytotoxins Involved in the Quercus Fungal Diseases
The importance for world life and the economic value of forest his reported as well as the benefit of this precious heritage. The severe diseases induced by the fungal phytotoxins to quercus are in deep described as well as their chemical and biological characterization and potential application essentially in agriculture and medicine. Forests are an indispensable resource for human existence in the different regions of the world. Forests are often concentrated in a few parts and vary in sizes. The most important and extensive green reserve on earth is the Amazon rainforest. Unfortunately, this fundamental resource, like others on other continents, is continually suffering massive losses due to various factors. In addition to abiotic stresses and deforestation to obtain other arable lands, these include microbial diseases, particularly those caused by pathogenic fungi. This review reports essentially the isolation, chemical, and biological properties of phytoxins produced by quercus pathogenic fungi, discussing their role in pathogenesis. For some phytotoxins the enatioselective synthesis, the structure-biological activity relationships, and the potential applications in agriculture and medicine are also discussed. In addition, for the Diplodia species the comparison between their secondary metabolite profile and taxonomy with those of fungal pathogens of other close forest plants was discussed.
