Lewis Jeffrey Feldman (born October 10, 1945) is a professor of
Department of Plant and Microbial Biology. Feldman has taught at Berkeley since 1978.[2] He received Berkeley's Distinguished Teaching Award in 1996.[2][3] Feldman's research focuses on regulation of development in meristems/stem cells, root gravitropism, and redox regulation
of plant development.
After graduating in 1963 from Sunset High School in Hayward, California, Feldman attended the University of California, Davis, earning a B.S. in 1967, then an M.S., both in Botany.[2] He received a Ph.D. in biology from Harvard University in 1975.[1]
Feldman is a fellow of the California Academy of Sciences.[2][4]

The hypothesis advanced here is that the signal transduction pathway for gravitaxis (gravitropism) evolved by building on and/or incorporating signal transduction steps which evolved earlier in connection with prokaryotes responding to light.

I delight in plants and I meet the challenge of drawing my students into the botanical kingdom as zealously as a missionary. I feel fortunate in my enthusiasm.
