Dorothea De Winton
Dorothea De Winton (1891-1982) was a plant scientist and one of the first female geneticists.
De Winton was employed at the John Innes Horticultural Institution in 1920.[1] Prior to this, she had worked as a professional gardener for four years.[2][3] She first worked worked under William Bateson as a member of the 'Bateson Ladies' on Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis).[1] Later she would work under Cyril Darlington, who is credited with inventing the chromosome.[4]
In 1932 De Winton published a book on her work titled 'Leaf and Bract Forms of Primula Sinensis and their Inheritance'[5], following that with 'The Genetics of Primula sinensis: IV. Indications as to the Ontogenetic Relationship of Leaf and Inflorescence' with Edgar Anderson in 1935[6]
