Eduard Adolf Strasburger (February 1, 1844 – May 19, 1912) was a German-Polish professor who was one of the most famous botanists of the 19th century.
He was born in Warsaw, Poland, son of Edward Bogumil Strasburger (1803-1874).
Strasburger, who is mostly remembered for his outstanding contributions to plant cytology, gave an encyclopedic compilation of old and recent work done on pathways and mechanisms of water transport in the plant body.
Strasburger himself was an adherent of the school of physics and provided some strikingly efficient demonstrations of water being lifted to considerable heights without any involvement of living cells (Figure 1).
Strasburger ruled out a number of physical forces that were credited with a role in water transport, such as fluctuations in barometric pressure acting on the air in the Jamin chains.
