He has been given credit for discovering cell biology and cells in plants and the actual discovery of the process of osmosis. His early researches into the voice introduced the first modern concept of vocal cord movement.
DUTROCHET AND THE CELL THEORY By J. Walter Wilson THE publication of Schwann's Mikroscopische Un-tersuchungen in I839 ushered in a new epoch in Biology. From then on the cell theory, in spite of its "inadequacies," supplied the framework of much of the most important biological thinking and re-search. It replaced the vague notions of "paren-
In the area of plant physiology, Dutrochet recognized the significance of green pigment in the use of carbon dioxide, investigated the mechanisms of respiration, light sensitivity, and geotropism, and showed that internal plant transport involves osmosis.
Among them, Henri Dutrochet (1776–1847), a self-taught French medical doctor, is probably the least recognized. The aim of this article is to relate the life of this independent investigator and show his contribution to the identification of the cell as the basic building block of plant and animal tissues. Henri Dutrochet was born on ...
Mar 1, 1996 · Raspail put forward a similar theory in 1833, and Duchesneau [2] suggests that Raspail and Dutrochet are important forerunners of Schwann’s cell theory (see below). Both were critical of vitalism and adopted a physico-chemical approach, using crystallization as a metaphor.
