Trofim Denisovich Lysenko (Russian: Трофи́м Дени́сович Лысе́нко, Ukrainian: Трохи́м Дени́сович Лисе́нко) was a geneticist, agronomist and biologist in the Soviet Union predominantly labelled in the west as a purveryor of “pseudoscience”. A more proportioned view of his achievements has gradually emerged. They include confirmation of his experimental findings concerning horizontal (or lateral) gene transfer, transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, vernalization of wheat seed and the now prevailing agronomic practice of planting grain crops into stubble, termed no-till, in the U. S.
