Plant Sciences

Johan Gerard ten Houten, known as Hans ten Houten (1911 to 1993), was a Dutch plant pathologist known for founding and leading several important bodies in that subject in the Netherlands. Born in Winterswijk, he studied biology at the University of Utrecht, graduating in plant taxonomy with a minor in plant pathology in 1935, and completed a doctorate in 1939 under Johanna Westerdijk with a dissertation on seed plant diseases of conifers. He then worked in applied entomology at the Colonial Institute in Amsterdam and, from the end of 1939, for the company NV Javo, mostly on pest and disease control in roselle grown as a fibre crop on Java. In 1942, during the Second World War, he was separated from his family and imprisoned, and in 1960 the Tunisian government invited him to advise on the experimental introduction of roselle.
