Abstract
Abstract
On October 22, 2015, Professor Peter Heinrich Böger, an excellent and internationally highly regarded plant scientist, died in Constance, Germany, at the age of 80 years. He was a broadly oriented researcher of photosynthetic processes, with emphasis on the mode of action of herbicides in chloroplasts and on the biodiversity of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. He was a very active, much committed person, who advanced not only plant science research, but also scientific communication, international cooperation and the promotion of young scientists. His scientific career, his manifold activities as editor and board member, and his merits and honors are described in this tribute.
