Yolande Heslop-Harrison is a British botanist known for her work on carnivorous plants. She shared the 1982 Darwin Medal with her husband Jack Heslop-Harrison.
Early life and education
[edit ]She attended Central Newcastle High School for Girls.[1] She did her undergraduate studies University of Durham and graduated with high honors in 1941. She earned her Ph.D. at King's College, Cambridge.[2] From 1971 until 1976 she was an honorary research fellow at Kew Gardens.[2]
Research
[edit ]Heslop-Harrison is known for her work on plant physiology, especially insect-eating plants. She used electron microscopy to examine the structural forms of carnivorous plants and tracked radioactive material to track the movements of proteins through leaf structures.[3] In 1996 Kew Gardens held a symposium to honor the work of both Jack and Yolande Heslop-Harrison and the proceedings were published in 1998.[4] [5]

Awards and honors
[edit ]In 1982 she shared the Darwin Medal with her husband, Jack Heslop-Harrison, for their work on "plant physiology including fundamental studies on insectivorous plants".[7] [8]
