  Julius von Sachs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Julius von Sachs (October 2, 1832 - May 29, 1897), German botanist, was born at Breslau (now Wrocław).
Sachs achieved distinction as an investigator, a writer and a teacher; his name will ever be especially associated with the great development of plant physiology which marked the latter half of the 19th century, though there is scarcely a branch of botany to which he did not materially contribute.
Sachs' first published volume was the Handbuch der Experimentalphysiologie des Pflanzen (1865; French edition, 1868), which gives an admirable account of the state of knowledge in certain departments of the subject, and includes a great deal of original information.

The work of the German botanist Julius von Sachs (1832–1897) greatly advanced the understanding of plant physiology in the second half of the 19th century.
In 1865 Sachs proved that the green substance of plants, chlorophyll, is not distributed throughout the plant but is located in special bodies within plant cells (later called chloroplasts).
Sachs studied the formation of growth rings in trees, the role of tissue tension in promoting organ growth, and the influence of gravity and sunlight on plant symmetry.

 Julius Von Sachs Biography / Biography of Julius Von Sachs Plant Sciences Biography
In examining the fate of carbon in plants, Sachs used an iodine test to show that carbon was first accumulated as starch in the leaves of plants.
Sachs also observed the way in which the carbon in starch was converted into different compounds in the plant, such as oils, sugars, and proteins.
Sachs developed a method to culture plants in water instead of soil, which allowed him to experiment with the nutrient content of the water he gave the plants.

From discoveries and developments in the years 1859-1865 this technique was accomplished by two German scientists, Julius von Sachs (1860), professor of Botany at the University of Wurzburg (1832-1897), and W. Knop (1861), an agricultural chemist.
In the same year, Professor Julius von Sachs published the first standard formula for a nutrient solution that could be dissolved in water where plants could grow through that technique.
Finally, due to von Sachs efforts, the source to essential nutrients of growing plants was discovered.

 Plant Physiology Online: Observing Roots below Ground
Studying root growth below the soil surface requires a means of observing the root system directly.
As early as 1873, the German botanist Julius von Sachs studied root systems by using simple soil-filled boxes with one glass wall.
Since that time, facilities for studying root growth in the soil have become much more complex.
