photoinhibition, photosynthesis, starch, David Walker, Julius von Sachs Abstract Theodor Engelmann’s experiments in 1882 provided the first recorded visual demonstration of light wavelengths that are absorbed by photosynthetic pigments. Later, starch images in intact leaves were used to demonstrate photosynthesis in green plants.

Van Niel conducted experiments in purple green bacteria and demonstrated that the oxygen evolved during photosynthesis comes from water but not carbon dioxide. Jan Ingenhousz (1730-1799) showed that sunlight is essential for photosynthesis. Julius von Sachs provided evidence for production of glucose when plants grow.

Abstract. During the second half of the 19th century Julius von Sachs established the main principles of the photosynthetic production of sugars. From then, a growing number of biochemists and physiologists attended to the process, that appeared like a "black box", in order to detect what came in and what went out of it.
Nov 22, 2012 · Julius von Sachs discovered where starch was made in a plant. Emerging microscopy techniques enabled him to see inside plant cells, where he found chloroplasts. Modern electron microscopes can be ...
