In this way and due to his brillant career, national and international recognition in the study and understanding of the Argentine and South American Legumes, we propose to celebrate the Conference in Honor of the Memory of Prof. Ing. Arturo Burkart (1906-1975), former Director of the Instituto de Botánica Darwinion (IBODA): Academia Nacional de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales-CONICET (1936-1975).
