Delill gave committed, visionary, and thorough encouragement to higher-plant genetics, and always emphasized the highest quality of research in the field. Her warm personableness and inquisitiveness made me, and many-many others, feel appreciated and encouraged. In large measure Delill made the context happen, through which planning of the Arabidopsis initiative developed and is flowering, to the benefit of all of us. More yet, other higher-plant initiatives are following vigorously on the heels of this context. What a friend to plant science and to forward-looking planning Delill Nasser represented! Ed Coe
