(Ferndinand Gustav) Julius von Sachs. 1832-1897. German botanist who contributed much to the field of plant physiology. Sachs described how plant root hairs function and stated that absorbed water moves through tubes in plant walls without the aid of living cells.
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.
May 17, 2018 · Using an elegant experimental approach involving iodine to treat leaves from conspecifics grown in sunlight and in the dark, Sachs ( 1865) proved his concept of how plants use sunlight to manufacture their living substance.

Discusses the movements of radicles. His observations show that sensitivity to touch resides in the root tip and he believes that sensitivity to gravity governing geotropic responses is also in the root tip. Would much like to convert Julius von Sachs to his ideas on radicle movement.
Julius von Sachs (1832-1897), a German botanist (Figure 7), participated very actively in the development of plant physiology. In particular, it demonstrates that starch grains present in chloroplasts are formed under the influence of light.
