Professor James Langham Dale AC is an Australian agricultural scientist. He is a professor in the Faculty of Science School of Biology & Environmental Science at Queensland University of Technology (QUT).[1]

Dale is best known for development of improved strains of bananas.[2] In 2021, his team earned recognition for a strain of Cavendish bananas resistant to Panama disease tropical race 4.[3]

Early life

Dale grew up in a harbour-side suburb of Sydney. He was more interested in sport than science until late in high school. He then went to University of Sydney and on completion of his undergraduate degree, immediately continued into his PhD, supervised by plant virologist Adrian Gibbs,[4] and completed in 1975.

Research

In 2004, he led a team at QUT to apply for a grant from the Gates Foundation in conjunction with the National Agricultural Research Organisation of Uganda. The goal is to develop bananas, a staple crop in Uganda, to address nutrition deficiencies of Vitamin A and iron in Ugandan diets. The technology is developed in Australia, but transferred to Uganda to develop local expertise.[4]
