Career
Otto worked for two years (1925–1927) as a plant breeder on a large private estate at Dioseg, near Bratislava.
Lewis Namier persuaded Otto to emigrate to Palestine to help establish a plant and animal breeding programme there and to act as a bridge between the Zionist Organization and the Empire Marketing Board under the direction of John Boyd Orr. There, Otto began his cytological career by counting the chromosomes of the Jaffa orange. He did not like Palestine and moved to England.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1953.
