Trofim Denisovich Lysenko (Russian:Трофи́м Дени́сович Лысе́нко, Ukrainian:Трохи́м Дени́сович Лисе́нко; 29 September [O.S. 17 September] 1898 –20 November 1976) the son of Denis and Oksana Lysenko, was born to a peasant family in Karlivka, Poltava Governorate (in present-day Poltava Oblast, Ukraine)on September 29th, 1898. He later attended the Kiev Agricultural Institute where he found himself interested in agriculture (now the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine). Here he worked on a few different projects, one being the effects of temperature variation on the life cycle of plants. This later led him to consider how he may use this work to convert winter wheat into spring wheat. This process came to be known as "vernalization". Lysenko was an early proponent of soft inheritance and rejected Mendelian genetics in favor of pseudoscientific ideas termed Lysenkoism.
