Abstract: Given a finitely generated algebra $A$, it is a fundamental question whether $A$ has a full rank discrete (Krull) valuation $mathfrakv$ with finitely generated value semigroup. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for this, in terms of tropical geometry of $A$. In the course of this we introduce the notion of a Khovanskii basis for $(A,mathfrakv)$ which provides a framework for far extending Gr"obner theory on polynomial algebras to general finitely generated algebras. In particular, this makes a direct connection between the theory of Newton-Okounkov bodies and tropical geometry, and toric degenerations arising in both contexts. We also construct an associated compactification of $Spec(A)$. Our approach includes many familiar examples such as the Gel'fand-Zetlin degenerations of coordinate rings of flag varieties as well as wonderful compactifications of reductive groups. We expect that many examples coming from cluster algebras naturally fit into our framework.
