Mark E. Sorrells is a plant breeder, geneticist, mentor, and professor who has dedicated more than 40 years to the field. Mark's major contributions have been in the development of breeding methodologies for wheat improvement, including the use of a dominant male‐sterile gene, marker development, genomic selection theory, and application in small grains and variety development. He has also been very engaged in graduate student education. The success of his students in both academia and industry reflects his ability as an instructor and mentor, which is perhaps his biggest contribution to plant breeding. Mark always provides outstanding scientific training, and continually emphasizes the value of excellence in the research process, the value of hard work, and the importance of an open mind to new technologies. One of the most remarkable of his skills is the ability to combine plant breeding theory and practice. His work has focused mainly on wheat, but he has also published on maize, rice, oat, barley, tef, and sugarcane, which has given him a wide perspective. These assets have contributed to a career marked by more than 270 scientific papers, many national and international collaborations and conferences, and outstanding student training and mentoring. As his colleagues and former students, we dedicate this chapter to Mark's outstanding career in plant breeding and genetics, his leadership, and his positive influence on students and colleagues over the years.
I. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH AND BACKGROUND
Dr. Mark Sorrells' love for scientific knowledge was grounded in his childhood spent on a diverse central Illinois farm that included both field crops and livestock. Dr. Sorrells began his scientific career at Southern Illinois University ()‐Carbondale, majoring in electrical engineering. SIU had a tropical plant conservatory that Sorrells frequented on his way to classes. He became acquainted with the conservatory manager, Mr. Mayberry, who would often give Sorrells plants or cuttings to take home. Because of his growing interest in plants, he changed his major to botany in his sophomore year, earning a bachelor’s degree in that subject in 1973. He achieved his master's in plant and soil science two years later, under the watchful eye of Dr. Oval Myers, Jr., a maize and soybean breeder. As part of this program, he spent a year in Brazil's Federal University of Santa Maria with a team of scientists conducting breeding, genetics, and physiology research on maize, sorghum, and soybean.
Sorrells received his Ph.D. in plant genetics and breeding from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1977, working on maize under the supervision of Dr. John Lonnquist, whose program was focused on population improvement. Subsequently, he joined Edwin T. Bingham's lab to work on cytogenetics of the ms1 mutant in soybean. Within a year of acquiring his doctorate degree, Sorrells joined the faculty of the Department of Plant Breeding and Biometry at Cornell University. Six years later, he became associate professor, and then a full professor in 1991. After joining the faculty at Cornell, Sorrells took advantage of his training in population improvement and cytogenetics to initiate related projects. For example, he introgressed the dominant male‐sterile gene into locally adapted wheat germplasm and initiated recurrent selection in several populations. He used tetraploid and diploid oat species to create novel amphidiploids, which he crossed to cultivated oat...
