Lowell N. Lewis (born July 9, 1931) was an American plant physiology professor. He began teaching plant physiology at University of California, Riverside in 1960.[1] In 1963 he and graduate student Rashad Khalifah discovered a new kind of auxin present in citrus plants.[3][4] He was promoted to associate professor of horticultural science in 1965.[5] In 1971 he was appointed associate dean of the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences by the dean, W. Mack Dugger.[6] He left teaching in 1981 when he was appointed vice president of the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources.[1] Lewis mentions in a self-published book that he was named coordinator of relations between the University of California and Catalonia by a 1995 bilateral academic agreement.[7]
