Folke Skoog
Folke K. Skoog , born the June 15th 1908 and dead the February 15th 2001, was a physiologist vegetalist Swedish, pioneer in the field of the growth regulators, particularly the Cytokinines.
One him in particular the test of Skoog which is used to test substances with hormonal action, by observing their effects on division of cells of marrow of Tabac put in culture.
Skoog has received the National Medal off Science.
Born with Halland in Sweden, Skoog emigrated with the the United States during a voyage in California in 1925, and was almost naturalized a decade later. It has ran, and finished fourth, with the race of the 1.500 meters at the time of the Olympic Games of 1936. In 1936, it received its doctorate of biology at the University Caltech for its work carried out on the Auxine S, a type of growth regulator plants.
The professional path of Skoog advanced significantly with its arrival with the Université of Wisconsin in 1947. Carlos Miller discovered then the Kinétine in 1954, and the Benzyl adénine and others dependant compounds were synthesized later at the laboratory of Skoog.
In 1962, Skoog and Toshio Murashige published what is probably the most known article in the field of the vegetable fabric culture. In a vain attempt to discover a growth regulator vegetable hitherto unknown in the juice of tobacco at the time of its thesis of doctorate, Murashige and Skoog developed with the place a base saltworks largely improved for the culture of the tobacco in sterile condition. Now called Medium of Murashige and Skoog (medium ms), the final article is regarded as one of most often quoted in biology. Nearly 45 years after its publication, medium ms remains an essential component of the fabric culture of plant.
