In his 1977 obituary of Trofim Lysenko (1898–1976), the British biologist Cyril Darlington (1903–1981) commented that Lysenko was “obviously ill‐educated, quite shallow, very cunning and a little deranged” (Darlington, 1977). Lysenko's rejection of Mendelian genetics in favour of Lamarckism, his embrace of the hybridization theories of Russian horticulturist Ivan Michurin (1855–1935), and his claims that plants can be heritably altered by graft hybridization or environmental conditions…

The consequences of political dictatorship for Russian science

- 2001
The Soviet communist regime had devastating consequences on the state of Russian twentieth century science; Russian science, which had previously flourished, rapidly declined, and many valuable scientific discoveries made by leading geneticists were forgotten.
Graft-transformation, the mechanism for graft-induced genetic changes in higher plants
- BiologyEuphytica
- 2004
The mechanisms of chromatin transfer from the stock dying cells through the vascular system across the graft-union to the growing point(s) of the scion, and how that process causes transformation in the fast dividing scion flower primordia are discussed.
Exchange of Genetic Material Between Cells in Plant Tissue Grafts

It is demonstrated that plant grafting can result in the exchange of genetic information via either large DNA pieces or entire plastid genomes, which suggests that eukaryotic cells can indeed exchange genetic information, and in this way, grafting allows genes to cross species barriers.
