tuesday Afternoon Centennial
Session
The Future of Plant Pathology
2:45 – 5:45 p.m. * Auditorium
Section: Professionalism/Service/Outreach
Organizer/Moderator: David Schmale, VPI SU, Blacksburg,
VA
Sponsoring Committees: Centennial Planning Committee
The field of plant pathology is pushing forward with new and
exciting technologies and applications. Powerful genomics
and bioinformatics tools are enabling researchers to examine
interactions among entire microbial communities, and new
high-power computing capabilities are mining and comparing
genomes and proteomes of plant pathogens and their hosts.
Online databases are linking living plant pathogen culture
collections to publicly available morphological and sequence
data. A new ‘wired’ generation of students needs to be amused
58
and entertained in the classroom, and we must find unique
ways to attract and retain these individuals as agricultural
professionals.
