We honor here Hartmut Karl Lichtenthaler, a pioneer of plant physiology, plant biochemistry, plant biophysics, plant molecular biology, and stress physiology. His contributions to the ingenious use of chlorophyll a fluorescence imaging in understanding the physiological processes in leaves stand out. We wish him many happy and productive years of research and educating others.

Additional key words: chlorophyll fluorescence imaging; Eugene Rabinowitch; isoprenoid biosynthesis; Melvin Calvin; phylloquinone; Robert Emerson.
