Arthur Meyer (botanist)

Arthur Meyer (botanist)

Arthur Meyer (1850–1922) was a German botanist, cell biologist, and pharmacognosist. Meyer is known for his pioneering work describing the structure of chloroplasts (which Meyer called "autoplasts") and other plastids. He was the first to name and describe the chlorophyll-containing structures in choloroplasts known as grana. [Gunning B, et al. 2006. [http://books.google.com/books?id=tNXi03KbKxsC&printsec=frontcover#PPP28,M1 A dedication to pioneers of research on chloroplast structure] . In: Wise RR, Hoober JK, editors. "The Structure and Function of Plastids". Dordrecht, NL: Springer. (Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration Series: Volume 23.) p xxiii-xxxi (p xxxviii). ISBN 1402040601.]

Meyer spent his academic career at the University of Marburg. He was a member of the Marburg Circle, an interdisciplinary biological discussion group centered around Emil Adolf von Behring. [Grundmann K. 2001. [http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/articles/behring/index.html "Emil von Behring: The founder of serum therapy"] (web page). "Nobelprize.org".]
