In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore the remarkable story of how a botanist and mathematician named Gregor Mendel laid the groundwork for modern genetics. Plants are one of my ...

The obscure work of Moravian monk Gregor Mendel is brought to light and becomes a cornerstone in the emerging science of genetics. Mendel's notion that traits are passed down in discrete units ...

Gregor Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments with pea plants, long before the discovery of DNA and genes. Mendel was an Augustinian monk at St Thomas’s Abbey ...

Genetics, the science of inheritance and variation among living organisms, can be traced back to the seminal work of Gregor Mendel, published in 1866. Yet today genetics is one of the most fast-moving ...

At the turn of the 20th century, Gregor Mendel’s seminal 1866 paper on pea plants and the principles of inheritance resurfaced in the scientific community, thanks to a few intrepid botanists who had ...

Transposons, so-called jumping genes, are a threat to genomes, so plants work hard to prevent them from mobilizing and ...

the researchers identified genetic variants underlying climate adaptation in Marchantia polymorpha. The study, by the labs of Liam Dolan and Frédéric Berger at the Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI ...
