August 2016

Dear colleagues and friends attending the 2016 ASHS Conference: Welcome to Atlanta and to the 113th annual meeting of the American Society for Horticultural Science. Building upon the dreams of those who gathered for the organizational and founding meeting of the ASHS in Boston, we follow the idea of gathering annually to share our science and experiences, and to build our professional networks. This year’s conference, although following a long tradition and with a strong heritage, promises to be among the best ever. The theme of this year’s conference is, “Seize the Future”. Atlanta is a beautiful city with a rich history, being founded as a railroad terminus 180 years ago, but with the new expanding energy of the sunny south. After its destruction in the Civil - eastern US. It has been 35 years since the ASHS last convened in Atlanta. The population of the Atlanta region has more than doubled since we last visited. It is a wonderful conference venue with an energy and enthusiasm emblematic of the ASHS. The Technical Program committee has developed an outstanding program surrounding the conference theme. The program includes informative and enjoyable plenary sessions ranging from the importance of maintaining ecological diversity in the future, to the future of plant genetic manipulation with gene editing; a colloquium on “Farms of the Future”; a series of grants workshops to help support future research, discovery, teaching, and technology; more than 300 oral and 400 poster presentations; more than 100 hours of working group workshops and meetings; and a trade show and exposition. The conference includes wonderful time for professional networking including an opening reception and closing dinner, social events, several luncheons, a fun run/walk, and ample time in the trade show, poster sessions and in the hallways. The tours and ancillary activities of the Conference will give participants and guests a good view of the city, its history, its beauty, and its business. It is my hope that you make the most of this conference. I am grateful for your participation and am proud of you who are presenting in oral or poster sessions, or participating in the workshops. Thank you for sharing your science, experiences, discoveries, and technologies. Take the opportunity to strengthen and expand your professional networks. Enjoy the time to renew acquaintances with colleagues and friends. This is your time to “Seize the Future” – your future. Best wishes for a productive, informative, and enjoyable conference. With kind regards, Curt R. Rom University Professor, Horticulture President, American Society for Horticultural Science

ASHS Scholars Award: David Denton

My goal is to develop and market ornamental plants for the Southeastern US that will be easy to grow and inexpensive to the mass market. To acquire the education for this goal , I am majoring in Horticulture at NC State University.

At age 14, I built a small hobby greenhouse. I started vegetable seedlings, but my interest quickly turned towards a weedy annual that grew in my parents’ yard, .

I colonized a new garden bed with two seedlings, which soon multiplied in the years following. The natural variation that arose with each generation fascinated me and sparked my interest in plant breeding.

I began selecting for double petal form and more drought tolerance. To a limited extent, I also made hand crosses. This species variation and ease of

INNERS growth has prompted me on a mission towards bringing it back into main- David Denton W stream cultivation. North Carolina State University By the time I began attending NC State, I already had several seed strains that I

WARD had established. In the Spring of 2015, Dr. Kraus and Diane Mays provided me the greenhouse space to conduct evaluations of those seed strains and select individual plants for hand pollination. Dr. Werner was also very helpful in providing me guidance and insight throughout this project. 2016 ASHS A

Dr. Knox’s research and Extension programs focus on two areas, plant evaluation and plant-pest interactions. Goals of his plant evaluation program are Industry, minimize impacts from pests/diseases and invasive plants, con- serve native species, and improve plant diversity for the Green Industry and Florida gardeners. To display and promote plants, Dr. Knox is working with gardens.

Although he has maintained a productive research program, his biggest impact may be through advising graduate students. He has served as (co-) advisor of ten Master’s and eight PhD students. His advising philosophy is simple: to provide opportunities for growth and professional development, while encouraging students to do the best job they possibly can. His students conduct high quality research, while building a strong CV. The success of this Marc van Iersel approach is clear: University of Georgia His students have published approximately 40 peer-reviewed papers as lead authors, while Marc has co-authored an additional 15 papers with other students as lead author. They have won numerous awards, including in competitions organized by

W students have gone on to successful careers, with seven of them employed as faculty members or instructors at universities in the US and South Korea. Others have gone on to careers in industry. Because of Marc’s strong background in plant physiology, instrumentation, measurement

WARD techniques, and automation, he has served on 41 graduate student committees, including those for students at Virginia Tech and Clemson.

Marc has developed three new graduate courses: advanced plant nutrition, measurement and control in plant and soil science, and advanced plant physiology, which he co-teaches. He has also taught our graduate seminar class and two split-level undergraduate/graduate courses. 2016 ASHS A
