Margery: Oh, Marc Cathey (floricultural researcher and
director of the National Arboretum) used to call me that,
and he and Andre Viette (New York and Virginia nurseryman,
breeder of daylilies and garden talk radio host) once sent
me a " Princess Mildew " costume from some Caribbean
island. Later, powdered sugar appeared on just Jan Hall's
and my poinsettia plates at a Poinsettia Growers Association
Conference ... and, knowing my niche, I've stayed in the
mildew category with my downy mildew work.
Peter: Moving on, progress and change in both the
academic and production sectors of horticulture are
constants. How is plant pathology changing?
Margery: Today I think much of the role played
by ornamental pathologists at universities in the
past has shifted over to pathologists working for the
large breeding companies. In academia, working on
ornamental crops is not seen to bring in enough funding
to sustain a research program - enough that an assistant
professor can get tenure.
Dollar expectations for funding of university programs
are now in the millions. Consequently, as ornamental
Technology took
on a key IPM support
role and allowed onsite
diagnosis of a
widespread, hard-toidentify
and significant
disease problem.
pathologists retire, they are not being replaced with
people who can troubleshoot problems for the industry -
they are more likely to have microbial genetics expertise
with crossover relevance to human diseases or diseases
of major food crops.

These scientists will make huge
and essential contributions to
knowledge, but will the flower
industry find them to be relevant
to their businesses? With fewer
professors of floriculture pathology,
the industry will lose teachers and
resilience for dealing with current
disease problems. Private industry
will fill the gap, but possibly with
reduced objectivity and sharing.
Peter: These are important issues.

Growers need to be aware of your
concerns because they are the ones
who influence those who decide
which sector(s) get support. We can
sound alarms but it's the voice of
the growers that carries the most
weight. Your point about private
sector objectivity is excellent as well.
I've experienced it after choosing
to leave academia to operate in the
private sector. It takes extra effort to
establish and steward a reputation
of objectivity here.
Regarding diagnosing crop
