Eliezer (Eduardo) Zeiger

Eliezer (Eduardo) Zeiger is a professor of biology. He has taught at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1970, he received his doctorate degree in genetics from the University of California, Davis.

Zeiger has published almost 100 scientific papers on the subjects of photothynsesis and the sensory transduction of internal and external signals in plant cells. He is co-author of the "Plant Physiology and Development" textbook published by Oxford University Press,^[1] which is a widely used upper-division plant physiology textbook that has been translated into numerous languages and published in six editions.

Zeiger's research includes stomatal function and the transfer of genetic material in response to blue-light. In 1987 he compiled a book on stomatal function, published by Stanford University Press.^[2] He has also researched the types of acclimatizations of stomata that are reflected by larger yields in commercial agriculture.^[3]
