[31 offprints on the Neurospora crassa by noted geneticist Robert P. Wagner].

[Various locations: various publishers,]: 1948-59., 1948. Rare. Ownership inked signature and/or rubber stamps of renowned geneticist Norman Harold Horowitz. Very good. 31 separate and rare offprints from noted geneticist Robert P. Wagner of the University of Texas at Austin. Wagner was brought into Texas' renowned center for genetics by J.T. Patterson, who served as his mentor. The majority of the papers concern his important research and experimentation with Neurospora crassa, a model organism in biochemical genetics. Wagner is the co-author of four books, the first of which, Genetics and Metabolism (1955), was the "first major synthesis and summary of the emerging field of biochemical genetics and was an important influence worldwide, being translated into several languages and used extensively as a textbook" ("In memoriam, Robert Wagner" available at the UT Austin web-page).
