	Trofim Lysenko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lysenko, the son of Denis and Oksana Lysenko, came from a peasant family in Ukraine and attended the Kiev Agricultural Institute.
		Lysenko served this purpose faithfully, causing the expulsion, imprisonment, and death of hundreds of scientists and the demise of genetics (a previously flourishing field) throughout the Soviet Union.
		Lysenko was removed from his post as director of the Institute of Genetics at the Academy of Sciences and restricted to an experimental farm in the Lenin Hills, near Moscow (the Institute itself was soon dissolved).

		He became the leader of the Soviet school of genetics that opposed the theories of heredity accepted by most geneticists and supported the doctrine that characteristics acquired through environmental influences are inherited (see acquired characteristics).
		Lysenko rejected neo-Mendelism and was a disciple of the Russian horticulturist I. Michurin.
		Lysenko’s theories were offered as Marxist orthodoxy and won the official support (1948) of the Soviet Central Committee.

	Lysenko and Lysenkoism
		Trofim Denisovich Lysenko was a young agronomist from the Ukraine, who first came into the limelight in 1927 in connection with an experiment in the winter planting of peas to precede the cotton crop in the Transcaucasus.
		Lysenko subsequently became famous for the discovery of "vernalisation," an agricultural technique that allowed winter crops to be obtained from summer planting by soaking and chilling the germinated seed for a determinate period of time.
		Lysenko's theory developed in a pragmatic and intuitive way as a rationalisation of agronomic practice and a reflection of the ideological environment surrounding it and not as a response to a problem formulated within the scientific community and pursued according to rigourous scientific methods.

		Trofim Denisovich Lysenko (1889-1976) was a Ukrainian born agronomist whose variant of Michurinism and theory of "vernalisation", "Lysenkoism", become the genetic orthodoxy in Stalinist Soviet Union.
		Lysenkoism posited extremely rapid and even next generation adaptive changes in species to new enviromental conditions and as such was fundamentally at odds with Mendelian genetics and Darwinian evolution.
		Lysenko was educated at the Kiev Agricultural Institute.

		Lysenko was born in Karlovka in the Russian Ukraine, and educated at the Uman School of Horticulture and the Kiev Agricultural Institute.
		From 1929 to 1938 he held senior positions at the Ukrainian All-Union Institute of Selection and Genetics in Odessa, becoming director of the Institute of Genetics of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1940.
		By advocating vernalization (a method of making seeds germinate quickly in the spring), Lysenko achieved considerable increases in crop yields, and this was the basis of his political support.

		Trofim Denisovich Lysenko (September 29, 1898 - November 20, 1976) was a Soviet biologist.
		He was a prominent figure in the Soviet Union because of his controversial, unscientific, approach to biological science, beginning with agriculture and leading to a more general theory of heredity that rejected the existence of genes.
		Stalin declared genetics and cybernetics to be anti-Soviet and ideologically unfit; he put Lysenko in charge of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the Soviet Union and made him responsible for ending the propagation of "harmful" ideas among Soviet scientists.

	Lysenkoism
		Lysenko rose to dominance at a 1948 conference in Russia where he delivered a passionate address denouncing Mendelian thought as "reactionary and decadent" and declared such thinkers to be "enemies of the Soviet people" (Gardner 1957).
		Lysenko's methods were not condemned by the Soviet scientific community until 1965, more than a decade after Stalin's death.
		Lysenko was opposed to the use of statistics, but had he been clever enough to see how useful statistics can be in the service of ideology, he might have changed his mind.

	Trofim Denisovich Lysenko -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		Lysenko was graduated from the Uman School of Horticulture in 1921 and was stationed at the Belaya Tserkov Selection Station in the same year.
		From 1929 to 1934 he held the office of senior specialist in the department of physiology of the Ukrainian All-Union Institute of Selection and Genetics in Odessa; from 1935 to 1938 he was scientific director and then director of the All-Union Selection and Genetics Institute at Odessa.
		After Khrushchev's political demise, in 1964, Lysenko's doctrines were discredited, and intensive efforts made toward the reestablishment of orthodox genetics in the U.S.S.R. Deposed as director of the Institute of Genetics early in 1965, Lysenko seemed to be at the end of his mutable career.
