Life
Regel graduated from the University of Saint Petersburg in 1888 in botany as a candidate for science. Until 1890 he studied at the University of Horticulture in Potsdam (where he was in contact with Adolf Engler ) and obtained the degree of horticultural engineer, which was later equated with a doctorate in horticulture.
From 1893 to 1897 he was a private lecturer at the University of St. Petersburg , where he completed his habilitation in 1894 . Between 1901 and 1904 he collected seeds of local varieties of barley from all Russian provinces and studied them.
From 1904 to 1920 he headed the Bureau for Applied Botany in St. Petersburg (today the Wawilow Institute ), first as deputy and then as director, and became a member of the scholarly committee of the Ministry of Agriculture. In 1909 he defended his master’s dissertation on the subject of barley with smooth awns , the first Russian dissertation on applied botany. In general, he was particularly interested in researching local varieties of crops and useful wild plants for applied purposes.
He died of typhus on January 20, 1920.
He published over 100 papers. A literature list can be found in the Russian Wikipedia.
