Jenny Hempel
Jenny Hempel (married Munthe) (19 February 1882 - 13 February 1975)〔Müller, D. (1975) Obituary in Botanisk Tidsskrift vol. 70 (2-3): 193.〕 was a Danish plant physiology pioneer. In 1916, she was the first Danish woman to receive a doctoral degree in a botanical discipline – and until 1956 the only. She discovered the diurnal fluctuations in cell sap acidity in succulent plants, with are now known to be linked with the CAM photosynthetic pathway.
==Life==
Jenny Hempel was the daughter of a Copenhagen apothecary. She studied plant physiology under professor Wilhelm Johannsen, together with P. Boysen Jensen. She received the degree of magister in 1911 for her studies on the effect of ether on plant growth.〔Hempel, J. (1911) Researches into the effect of etherization on plant metabolism. Det Kgl. Danske Videnskabernes Selskabs Skrifter 7. Række, naturvidenskabelig-mathematiske Afdelning VI (6): 62 p.〕 She then worked with S. P. L. Sørensen at the Carlsberg Laboratory. There she studied the pH of plant sap, in particular the diurnal fluctuations in sap acidity in succulent plants first observed by Benjamin Heyne. She took her PhD on that topic in 1916〔Hempel, J. (1916) Bidrag til Kundskaben om Succulenternes Fysiologi. 147 pp. University of Copenhagen, doctoral dissertation.〕 becoming the first Danish female to do so.
In 1917, she married the Norwegian librarian Wilhelm Munthe, with whom she had two sons – one on them being Preben Munthe. After her marriage she gave up her scientific career.
Her discoveries led directly to broader investigations of the pH of soils and plants by Christen Raunkiær and his student Carsten Olsen.
