Gottlieb Haberlandt, an Austrian botanist, made significant contributions to plant biology through his pioneering work in plant tissue culture and totipotency. He believed that isolating tissues could reveal the potential of individual cells and their interactions. His ideas led to important discoveries in Biology and Medicine. In 1905, he proposed the existence of light-sensing organs on plant leaf surfaces. Haberlandt also identified the specialized leaf anatomy essential for C-4 photosynthesis, known as Kranz anatomy. His research has had a profound impact on the field of plant biology.
