With Daniel I. Arnon and F. Robert Whatley, she did breakthrough research discovering and demonstrating the role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis.[4][5] In 1962 she received the Darbaker Prize from the Botanical Society of America for her work on microbial algae.[1] In 1967 she was nominated jointly (but unsuccessfully) with Arnon and Whatley for a Nobel Prize.[6]
