Around the same time, Gregor Mendel was conducting his pea plant experiments, which he published in 1866. Mendel gave a few lectures on his findings about genetics in pea plants, but no one seemed to ...

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 ...

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 ...
