André Maublanc

André Pierre Jules Maublanc (24 July 1880, in Nantes – 30 April 1958, in Paris) was a French mycologist and plant pathologist.

Beginning in 1902, he worked as a préparateur at the Station de Pathologie végétale in Paris. In 1912, he traveled to Brazil, where he was responsible for organizing the plant pathology laboratory at the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro. In 1921, he was named head (''chef de travaux'') of botany and plant pathology at the Institut nationale agronomique.

From 1909 he served as general secretary of the Société mycologique de France, and in 1945 was named president of the Société botanique de France. The mycological genera ''Maublancia'' (G.Arnaud, 1918) and ''Maublancomyces'' (Herter, 1950) commemorate his name. Provided by Wikipedia
