From humble beginnings as a small desert laboratory in Tucson, Arizona, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Carnegie Institution's Department of Plant Biology has evolved into a thriving international center of plant molecular biology on the campus of Stanford University. This fourth in a series of five histories of the Carnegie Institution considers the beginnings of ecology, complexities of photosynthesis, great mid-century evolutionary synthesis and the start of the plant molecular revolution.
