Nicolay Ivanovich Vavilov (1887-1943) was one of the most
outstanding scientist of the twentieth century: a biologist,
geneticist, geographer, agronomist and plant breeder. During
three decades of tireless scientific work he travelled over five
continents, amassed the largest collection in the world of
species and strains of cultivated plants, and developed
theories on how utilize them for breeding new strains. The
activities of Vavilov were extraordinarily varied, but they were
all focused on one single objective: to increase agricultural
production and to provide humankind with more food.
N.I. Vavilov was a person of many and varied interests. He was a geographer (the President of the
National Geographic Society), a geneticist (Director of the Institute of Genetics), a plant-breeder
(Director of the All-Union Institute of Plant Breeding), and an organizer (the first President of the Lenin
All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences). He was a person of inexhaustible energy and unbelievable
efficiency. During his relatively short life he accomplished a surprising amount: in his expeditions
he travelled all over the world, he formulated very important postulates in genetics, he wrote more
than ten books, and carried out the gigantic task of organizing a system of agricultural institutions
in the USSR.
Beginning in his student years, N.I. Vavilov studied cultivated plants. His aim was to increase
the productivity of agricultural plants, and, thus, to eliminate famine in his long-suffering and huge
country. In pursuing this goal, N.I.Vavilov directed his work towards solving two interrelated tasks,
importance of which was foreseen by him already in his early years. The first task was the mobilization
of the genetic resources of all cultivated plants and also of their wild relatives, i.e. identification, study
and collection of plant samples in their native habitats. The second task was the conservation of all the
diversity of cultivated plants and of their wild relatives (grown in experimental fields and conserved in
special storehouses), a diversity that is being constantly diminished with the elimination of natural
habitats and primitive agricultural systems, but the involvement of which in breeding is extremely
important in secure consistently high yields.
After graduating from the Moscow Commercial College, N.I. Vavilov entered the Moscow Agricultural
Institute (now the Timiryazev Agricultural Academy in Moscow), from which he graduated in 1910.
As early as in his student years, N.I. Vavilov showed scientific interests that determined his future lines
of research: in 1908 he took part in the student expedition to the Caucasus; in 1909 he made a report on
Darwin's Theory; in 1910 he completed and published his diploma work devoted to protection
of agricultural plants from pests; in 1912 in his pioneering paper "Genetics and Agronomy" he outlined
a program which implied application of genetics to the improvement of cultivated plants. Thus, from his
very first steps in science N.I. Vavilov showed himself as a geographer, an evolutionist and a specialist in
plant protection. It is noteworthy that all his scientific interests were interrelated; he was the first to see
the possibility and the vital necessity of investigations into the cultivated plants from the viewpoint of
genetics, evolution and geography. N.I. Vavilov managed to implement this scientific synthesis
concurrently with his tremendous organizational work in the field of agricultural science.
In 1913-1914 N.I. Vavilov worked in the best laboratories of Great Britain (in the laboratory headed
by W. Bateson), France and Germany. In 1916 he went to Iran and to the mountains of Middle Asia to
study cultivated plants growing there. From 1917-1921 N.I. Vavilov was a lecturer at the Department
of Agriculture of the Saratov Agricultural Institute, and in 1918 he became a Professor of this Institute.
There N.I. Vavilov gave lectures and carried out research into the peculiarities of cultivated plants
growing in the region of the Volga and also studied the variability of plants. At that time he made one
of his major scientific discoveries - in 1920 he formulated the Law of Homologous Series in Hereditary
Variation, which made it possible to systematize the data on variation and to forecast the possibility
of finding new plant varieties.
The significance of Vavilov's theory has become especially important nowadays, with the occurrence of
mass elimination of natural habitats and primitive agricultural systems. Not only specialists in this field
but also the public at large have been attracted to the problems connected with the conservation
of genetic pools of cultivated and wild plants. The impoverishment or loss of this hereditary potential
can cause irreversible damage to all humanity.
