K arl O tto M üller was an outstanding scientist in applied botany who substantially promoted modern plant breeding and phytopathology. In 1928 he started his experimental studies about phytophthora resistance of potatoes enlightening on an up to that time unknown defensive reaction of higher plants, which led to the postulation of phytoalexins 50 years ago.
