Scientific legacy of Prof. Evgenia N. Sinskaya, Doctor of Biological and Agricultural Sciences: commemorating her 135th birthday

In 2024, we celebrate the 135th birthday of Evgenia N. Sinskaya (1889–1965). A leading expert in the taxonomy, evolution, ecology and geography of cultivated plants and their wild relatives, Prof. E. N. Sinskaya occupies a well-deserved honorable place among the outstanding Russian biologists of the 20th century. Prof. Sinskaya was undoubtedly no less talented as a prominent scientist, but as a writer as well. We believe that Prof. Sinskaya’s scientific ideas would be best recognized through acquainting the readers with the published results of her unique research and reconsidering her theoretical works on the taxonomy, phylogeny, and the problem of populations of higher plants. Therefore, on the eve of her birthday celebration, we present a chronological list of her major publications. This list can be recommended to young Russian scientists whose scientific interests extend from theoretical issues of plant biology to practical challenges of crop cultivation. Besides, the editors of the journal Vavilovia supply a list of unpublished works by E. N. Sinskaya in an attempt to incorporate archival documents into scientific circulation, thus encouraging further detailed studies dedicated to the scientific legacy of one of VIR’s most renowned scientists.
