As a student of theology at Cambridge University, Charles Darwin (1809 –1882 ) attended the lectures of the botanist John S. Henslow (1796–1861). This instruction provided the basis for his life-long interest in plants as well as the species question. This was a major reason why in his book On the Origin of Species, which was published 150 years ago, Darwin explained his metaphorical phrase ‘struggle for life’ with respect to animals and plants . In this article, we review Darwin ’s botanical work with reference to the following topics: the struggle for existence in the vegetable kingdom with respect to the phytochrome-mediated shade avoidance response; the biology of flowers and Darwin ’s plant –insect co-evolution hypothesis; climbing plants and the discovery of action potentials; the power of movement in plants and Darwin ’s conflict with the German plant physiologist Julius Sachs; and light perception by growing grass coleoptiles with reference to the phototropins. Finally, we describe the establishment of the scientific discipline of Plant Biology that took place in the USA 80 years ago, and define this area of research with respect to Darwin ’s work on botany and the physiology of higher plants .

A RELIGIOUS PAST TO SCIENCE: How Biblical stories have contributed to the construction of scientific knowledge.
Mètode Science Studies Journal; 2024, Issue 14, p145-149, 5p
Stories captivate us by speaking to our imagination and by giving order and meaning to our world. Stories not only give us knowledge about society, but they can also shape our understanding of nature. In the Western world, Christianity has provided narratives that were used as references in scientific research for centuries. In this article I discuss two such examples, the Creation story and the story of Noah and the Great Flood, and explain their prevalence in scientific endeavors conducted in the West. These stories were only replaced by alternative ones when new scientific theories and concepts were given sufficient coherence to explain new discoveries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
