Who is Randy Wayne?
Randy O. Wayne is a plant cell biologist at Cornell University notable for his work on plant development. In particular, along with his colleague P. K. Hepler, Wayne established the powerful role of calcium in regulating plant growth; accordingly, his 1985 article Calcium and plant development was cited by at least 405 subsequent articles to earn the coveted "Citation Classic" award from Current Contents magazine and has been cited by hundreds more since 1993. He is an acknowledged authority on how plant cells sense gravity through pressure, on the water permeability of plant membranes, light microscopy, as well as the effects of calcium on plant development. He wrote two textbooks including Plant Cell Biology: From Astronomy to Zoology and Light and Video Microscopy. In 2010, he proposed a theory of light which contradicts relativity.
