Abstract
K enneth Thimann, now professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has had an important influence on the development of plant physiology. A pioneer in the field of plant hormones, Thimann was a key member of the research team that identified and first synthesized indoleacetic acid, a hormone (auxin) regulating plant growth. He currently is investigating the mechanisms that control plant aging. Throughout his career, Thimann has been interested in the agricultural implications of basic research in plant science. His concern with feeding the world's growing population is highlighted in this interview.
