A. A. Avakyan was born July 21, 1907. In 1946 he became 

 a Corresponding Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, 

 and in 1948 a member of the Lenin All-Union Academy of 

 Agriculture. He was awarded a Stalin Prize in 1941. 



The studies of Avakyan deal with problems of developing 

 vegetation. He was very active in the study of hereditary
