路易斯塞凯拉，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校植物病理学名誉教授，IS-MPMI的创始人和前总裁，也是该杂志的前编辑，在第一天晚上发表了激动人心的“行动呼吁”开幕词。塞凯拉博士对多年来在ISMPMI大会和期刊上提出的科学研究的增长和质量表示满意，但提醒与会者需要通过将研究“转化”为人类的利益来加强ISMPMI的影响和社会相关性。他对转化研究的呼吁成为会议反复出现的主题之一，因为其他发言者在接下来的四天里在自己的演讲中回应了塞凯拉博士的评论。其他代表团提到了促进农业发展和粮食安全转化研究的慈善组织的重要性，如两把刀基金会和比尔及梅林达·盖茨基金会，作为在主流政府赠款供资模式之外如何支持这类工作的新例子。
Luis Sequeira, professor emeritus of plant pathology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a founder and former president of IS-MPMI and a former editor of this journal, gave a stirring “call to action” opening address the first night. Dr. Sequeira expressed his satisfaction with the growth and quality of the scientific research presented over the years at the ISMPMI Congresses and in the journal but reminded attendees of the need to enhance the impact and societal relevance of ISMPMI by “translating” that research into benefits for humankind. His call for translational research became one of the recurring themes of the meeting, as other speakers responded to Dr. Sequeira’s comments in their own presentations over the next four days. The importance of charitable organizations that foster translational research for agricultural development and food security, such as the Two Blades Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, were mentioned by others as emerging examples of how this type of work could be supported outside of the mainstream government grant–based funding model.
