"Timiryazev stated the basic results of his thirty-five year research on photosynthesis in the Croonian lecture, "The Cosmical Function of the Green Plant". The theoretical basis he provided for the energetics of photosynthesis is still valid. Timiryazev's success in his research in photosynthesis is explained to a large degree by the fact that he gave much attention to the working out of new methods in the study of physiological processes in plants, for which he himself constructed a number of instruments and devices" (D.S.B. 13: 417).
