Abstract

This article is written in memory of Eugene Rabinowitch, one of the major prophets of photosynthesis. I speak on behalf of all the students and post-doctorial associates who were fortunate to be associated with and to have loved this wonderful man. I shall also describe my research with Eugene. We all remember him on the 1995 anniversary of his death (May 15, 1973).
