Julius von Sachs continued his study and, in 1864, reported that both the production and storage of starch were affected by the exposure of plants to minimum light intensity.
May 17, 2018 · Sachs argued that the energy transferred from the light to the plant and the energy resulting from “the pull of gravity” provided the plant with the necessary physical cues required to influence and adapt growth to ambient environmental conditions.

Three years earlier, in 1865, Sachs produced the equally impressive Handbuch der Experimental-Physiologie der Pflanzen (Handbook of Experimental Plant Physiology), which summarized the state of knowledge in all aspects of the discipline known today as plant physiology.
Jun 7, 2010 · By: Steve Elliott. Published: 2010-06-07. Julius von Sachs helped establish plant physiology through his experiments in latter nineteenth-century Germany. Sachs infused the inchoate discipline of plant physiology with experimental techniques and a mechanistic stance, both of which cemented his place as one of the discipline’s founders.
Suggestion that substances other than carbohydrates such as growth regulating substances may regulate flowering in plants. Sachs was one of the greatest teachers of the 19th Century and had a great influence on British and American botany and horticulture.
