Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Thomas Andrew Knight (17591838) was a distinguished British naturalist and botanist who is often regarded as the father of nineteenth-century horticultural science. From 1811 to 1838 Knight was the president of the Royal Horticultural Society and his interest in structural biology, plant physiology and plant breeding is evident in this collection of papers, published in 1841. On his country estate in Herefordshire, Knight devoted his time to research and writing, and carried out experiments on plants and trees. He published papers on his theories about such physiological problems as the ascent and descent of sap and how buds are produced. The main focus, however, is on Knight's own practical work: building greenhouses and experimenting with plant nutrition, fertilisation and the improvement of fruit trees by selective breeding (work later appreciated by Darwin). In an interesting chapter on animals, Knight relates his observations on the behaviour of bees and dogs. The distinguished British naturalist Thomas Andrew Knight (17591838) devoted himself to the emerging science of horticulture, and his interest in plant physiology and structure is evident in this collection of papers, published in 1841. Today Knight is particularly associated with his many and successful experiments in fruit-tree breeding.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. A collection of Thomas Andrew Knight's most distinguished and influential papers and memoirs on agriculture, horticulture, and vegetable physiology. These selections span various subjects, including plant propagation, grafting, the nutrition of trees, and the effects of external stimuli on plant growth. Knight, who was a close friend of Sir Joseph Banks, was one of the leading figures in the development of modern horticulture and agricultural practices, his work forming a cornerstone of plant science as we know it today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Knight was the brother of Payne Knight, and the second President of the Royal Horticultural Society. Attention was first called to his work in 1795 by the publication of the results of his research into the propagation of fruit trees and the diseases prevalent among them. He used 10,000 acres (4,000 ha) of land he inherited to conduct breeding of plants including strawberries, cabbages and peas and built an extensive greenhouse. Knight performed basic physiological experiments on plants, which work had been performed before only rarely. He elucidated the effects of gravity on seedlings and how decay in fruit trees was passed on by grafting. In many respects his work looked back to that of Rev. Stephen Hales. His goals were always strictly practical, aiming to improve useful food plants by breeding for better qualities. The Downton strawberry was the ancestor of most important modern strawberries until recent times. It is not widely known that he studied variation in peas and found many of the same results as Mendel, but he failed to make the same imaginative leap about how these changes took place. Knight intentionally shut himself off from outside scientific influences. He refused to read anyone else's scientific papers until Sir Joseph Banks, with whom he had a voluminous correspondence, persuaded him to do so.].
