Professor Zohary has been well placed to make his seminal contributions. Like the late Jack Harlan, another of our Distinguished Economic Botanists, with whom he collaborated productively, Daniel Zohary is the famous son of a famous father.

Daniel completed his undergraduate and Master's studies at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He then went to study for a Ph.D. under Professor G.L. Stebbins at the University of California, Berkeley. That must have been one of the most exciting places in the world for a young botanist, just two years after the publication of
