De Vries Seeks Big Changes In Plant Life By Sudden Leaps
Acclaimed botanist Hugo de Vries lectured at the New York Botanical Garden on plant mutation, arguing that new species arise by leaps rather than gradual variation. He cited experiments starting with daisies and foxglove, showing petals multiplying dramatically and centers diminishing, predicting future gains in crop yields for wheat and rice. Colleagues praised his theory as theoretical advance and a path to larger Burban k-type varieties, contrasting with practical aims of American breeders.
