ASTAUROV, BORIS LVQVICH (Biologist) 



B. L. Astaurov was born October 27, 1904. He graduated 

 from the University of Moscow in 1927. He worked in the 

 Moscow Branch of the Academy of Sciences Commission for the 

 Study of Natural Productive Powers from 1926 to 1930. From 

 1930 to 1935, he was at the Middle East Institute of Sericulture 

 in Tashkent. Since 1935, he has been an associate at the Insti- 

 tute of Experimental Biology (now the A. N. Severtsov Institute 

 of Animal Morphology). In 1955, he was laboratory Chief of 

 Experimental Embryology. He became a Corresponding Mem- 

 ber of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences in 1958. 



Astaurov' s basic works deal with the theory and practice in 

 the heredity of the mulberry silkworm. He has worked out 

 methods of thermal artificial parthenoses and found a way of 

 obtaining complete experimental androgens.
