Mary Helen Goldsmith is a plant physiologist known for her work on how hormones impact plant growth. She is a fellow and past president of the American Society of Plant Physiologists.

Education and career

Goldsmith has a B.A. from Cornell University.[1] She earned her Ph.D. in 1960 from Radcliffe College where she researched the importance of indole acetic acid in the grass, Avena.[2] In 1963 she joined the faculty at Yale University where she worked until her retirement in 2006.[1]

Goldsmith was the director of the Marsh Botanical Garden for sixteen years and included visits to the garden in some of her classes.[1][3] She also served as the president of the American Society of Plant Physiologists.[1]

Research

Goldsmith's early work was on impact of oxygen on insects.[4] During her Ph.D., she began to examine the movement of auxins, such as indole acetic acid, into corn.[5][6][7] She particularly focused on the polar diffusion of auxins.[8][9] Her research extends to studies on changes in plant cells during transport of polar chemicals,[10][11] intracellular measurements of membrane potential,[12] and activation of potassium channels.[13]

Selected publications

Awards and honors

  • 1986 - Goldsmith received a Guggenheim Fellowship in plant sciences.[14][15]
  • Goldsmith has been recognized as a Pioneer Member of the American Society of Plant Biologists. [17]
