[1] Friedrich Haberlandt was born on 21 February 1826 in Bratislava (known as Pressburg in German), in the Kingdom of Hungary (Transleithania).
One of his sons was the eminent botanist Gottlieb Haberlandt, plant tissue culture theorist and visionary.
His grandson was Ludwig Haberlandt famed endocrinologist and pioneer in chemical birth control, the pill.
Starting in Feb. 1876, he published these results first in various journal articles, and finally in his magnum opus, Die Sojabohne in 1878.
His untimely and premature death probably set back the interest in soybeans in Europe by at least 50 years.
