Timeline

1908

Folke Karl Skoog (July 15, 1908 – February 15, 2001) was a Swedish-born American plant physiologist who was a pioneer in the field of plant growth regulators, particularly cytokinins.

1925

Born in Halland, Sweden, Skoog emigrated to the United States during a trip to California in 1925, and was naturalized as a citizen almost a decade later.

He competed, and finished sixth in heat 2, in the 1500 meter race during the 1932 Summer Olympics.

1936

In 1936, he received his PhD in biology from Caltech for his work done with auxin, a plant hormone.

1937

In 1937, Skoog was a postdoctoral researcher with Dennis Robert Hoagland, and his professional career advanced significantly with his arrival at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1947.

1954

Carlos O. Miller discovered kinetin in 1954, and benzyladenine and related compounds were later synthesized in Skoog's lab.

1962

In 1962, Skoog and Toshio Murashige published what is probably the best-known paper in plant tissue culture; in a fruitless attempt to discover a yet-unknown plant growth regulator in tobacco juice for his doctoral thesis, Murashige and Skoog instead developed a greatly improved salt base for the sterile culture of tobacco.

Now referred to as Murashige and Skoog medium, the final paper (Murashige, T. and Skoog, F. (1962) A revised medium for rapid growth and bioassays with tobacco tissue cultures. Physiol Plant 18: 100-127) is one of the most often-cited papers in biology.

Now 60 years after the work, M&S salt base remains an essential component in plant tissue culture, but not in hydroponics.

1970

In 1970, Skoog was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

1991

Skoog was a recipient of the National Medal of Science 1991.
