Mary Dilys Glynne

NameMary Dilys Glynne
Job titleBritish plant pathologist and mountaineer. She was the first plant pathologist at Rothamsted Experimental Station, particularly interested in soil-based fungal diseases including potato wart, eyespot in wheat and take-all. She discovered a method for identifying varieties of crop resistant to these fungal diseases and also prove that methods such as crop rotation only perpetuated the problem. Her research led to increased yields in agriculture, which was of particular note during World War II, and was appointed an OBE for her services to agriculture.
