Abstract
Abstract Hugo von Mohl (1805–1872) – German botanist and microscopist – was one of the central figures in the emerging fields of plant anatomy and physiology. His most famous contributions concerned the plant cell, in particular the cell wall and cell division, and the origin of plant vessels from cells. These studies paved the way for cell theory.
