Jean Senebier, a Genevan Calvinist pastor and naturalist, served as the chief librarian of the Republic of Geneva. His valuable contributions to photosynthesis research include providing evidence that plants consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Senebier established a link between carbon dioxide availability and the oxygen produced during photosynthesis. Additionally, he identified the parenchyma in the leaf as the main location for photosynthesis.
