AFE\u2019s 2019 Altman Family Scholars:\u00a0
Paul Cockson, Yiyun Lin, and David Tork<\/strong><\/p>

The Altman Family Scholarship was created in 2015 by Ken and Deena Altman\u2014owners of Altman Plants\u2014as one of the numerous efforts supported by the couple to improve education and research for the industry. The scholarship provides $5,000 to\u00a0assist in funding the education of full-time graduate students (MS or Ph.D.) who will become leading floricultural scientists and educators.\u00a0Ken Altman has been actively involved in AFE\u2019s Education and Scholarship Committees and has served on the AFE Board for more than a decade, currently in an Emeritus status.<\/p>

This year, the Altman Fund is supporting three graduate students currently enrolled in masters programs at leading institutions. All three not only are already engaged in meaningful research but demonstrate qualities of leadership and commitment to the industry, along with excellent communication skills.<\/p>

Paul Cockson, Universidad Estatal de Carolina del Norte<\/strong><\/em>
Paul comenz\u00f3 a interesarse por la ciencia de las plantas mucho antes de ser estudiante universitario en la Universidad Estatal de Carolina del Norte, donde actualmente cursa el programa de Maestr\u00eda en Ciencias Hort\u00edcolas. Una pasant\u00eda de verano, trabajando en un proyecto relacionado con trastornos de nutrientes en la planta del tabaco, se convirti\u00f3 en dos a\u00f1os de trabajo de pregrado. El proyecto result\u00f3 finalmente en cinco art\u00edculos en revistas cient\u00edficas arbitradas, dos premios por el trabajo de Paul en conferencias nacionales e internacionales, cuatro art\u00edculos en revistas de divulgaci\u00f3n general y m\u00e1s de veinte publicaciones de extensi\u00f3n, una producci\u00f3n de productividad asombrosa.<\/p>

One of Paul\u2019s current research projects is aimed at one of the floral industry\u2019s trendiest and most in-demand products: succulents. With the use of plant growth regulators, he hopes to enhance the production of new shoots in different species, reducing the time it takes for a pot to fill out. Later in the year, he and an undergraduate mentee will grow poinsettia cultivars sent by different companies and will ask members of the public to rate them, gathering useful market data.<\/p>

Yiyun Lin, Universidad Estatal de Ohio\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
\u00bfQu\u00e9 podr\u00eda ser m\u00e1s importante para la industria floral que la investigaci\u00f3n sobre la longevidad de las flores? En la Universidad Estatal de Ohio, la investigaci\u00f3n de posgrado de Yiyun Lin se centra en descubrir la clave de lo que causa que los p\u00e9talos se marchiten y mueran, en t\u00e9rminos de fisiolog\u00eda y gen\u00e9tica.<\/p>

She has also been active in efforts to reach out to young people who might have an interest in horticulture careers. Yiyun has been an activity group leader for a science education event aimed at middle schoolers, introducing them to greenhouse crop production, and a team leader for another event designed to help high school students identify future careers. Yiyun is also a member of AFE\u2019s\u00a0Consejo de J\u00f3venes Profesionales.<\/a><\/p>

Las metas de Yiyun son elevadas: no aspira a nada menos que a convertirse en pionera en la investigaci\u00f3n biotecnol\u00f3gica aplicada a los cultivos de floricultura. \u201cLo que m\u00e1s me ayuda\u201d, afirma, \u201ces estar rodeada de gente realmente incre\u00edble y apasionada que intenta generar un impacto en el mundo\u201d.\u201d<\/p>

David Tork, Universidad de Minnesota \u2013 Twin Cities\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
David est\u00e1 trabajando con dos cultivares: uno con tallos florales largos y sin ramificaciones, y otro con tallos cortos y muy ramificados y follaje denso. \u201cAl cuantificar el potencial de vida en florero y al identificar el h\u00e1bito de planta ideal para flor cortada\u201d, escribe en su solicitud de beca, \u201cpodremos seleccionar y criar l\u00edneas que sean candidatas ideales para la industria de la flor cortada\u201d.\u201d
Este mes de julio, David presentar\u00e1 los resultados de su estudio en la Conferencia Anual de 2019 de la Sociedad Americana de Ciencias Hort\u00edcolas. A principios de este a\u00f1o particip\u00f3 en el Foro Nacional de Floricultura, una reuni\u00f3n respaldada por la Fundaci\u00f3n Floral Americana que re\u00fane a acad\u00e9micos, cient\u00edficos gubernamentales y l\u00edderes de la industria.<\/p>

\u201cMi asesor siempre bromeaba conmigo cuando empec\u00e9: \u2018Sabr\u00e1s cu\u00e1ndo est\u00e1s conectado a esto y no puedes desconectarte, porque empiezas a so\u00f1ar con ello\u2019. Eso empieza a pasar despu\u00e9s de un tiempo\u201d.\u201d<\/p>

Esos son buenos sue\u00f1os: sue\u00f1os que pronto se convertir\u00e1n en realidades para beneficiar a todos los que compartimos una pasi\u00f3n profesional por las flores y las plantas.<\/p>
