Jack Rodney Harlan (born June 7, 1917 in Washington, DC – d. August 26, 1998) was a botanist, agronomist, plant collector, and campaigner for crop plant biodiversity conservation.〔Thompson, Peter. ''Seeds, sex and civilization: how the hidden life of plants has shaped our world''. Thames and Hudson, 2010. 191-193〕
==Early life==
Jack Harlan was the son of Harry Harlan, a plant breeder who worked on barley at the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and who travelled around the world on seed collecting expeditions in search of new genetic material for use the USDA's crop breeding programs. Harry Harlan was a friend of the famous Russian plant breeding expert Nikolai Vavilov, and at the age of fifteen Jack Harlan met Vavilov when the latter stayed at the Harlan house during an international conference. This meeting inspired Jack to become a plant collector himself, and plans were made for Jack to travel to Russia after finishing his undergraduate degree to work with Vavilov. However the trip was cancelled as a result of Vavilov's deteriorating relationship with the Soviet authorities.〔Thompson, 2010 p191-193〕
