摘要

Around 1910 Aaron Aaronsohn of the Jewish community in Ottoman Palestine became very well known both as botanical explorer and agricultural expert, especially on the semiarid regions of the Mediterranean basin and the United States. He attracted the attention of the scientific world through his rediscovery of the long-sought wild progenitor of emmer wheat. Based on his claim that wild emmer wheat, as well as other wild forms of domesticated plants, may serve as what is today known as "gene pools", Aaronsohn formulated an agricultural vision for improvement of agricultural varieties and practices, particularly aimed: at dry-land farming. Capitalizing on the wide reception of his assertions, both by American professional circles of the United States Department of Agriculture and by lay public there, Aaronsohn succeeded in recruiting financial support for founding a Jewish agricultural experiment station in Palestine. It was an institute registered in New York, and was the first American research station to operate outside the United States. Modeled on American agricultural experiment stations, with aspirations on the one hand to be an international institute similar to the Naples Zoological Station, it was on the other hand intended to put Aaronsohn's various botanical and agricultural projects into practice. As such, it had great scientific and agricultural promise. This article, based mainly on textual analysis of Aaronsohn's publications, traces the central moves in his professional life leading to the establishment of his station. However, this article leaves the fate of Aaronsohn's vision, which materialized only meagerly during his days, for a different discusion.
