Plants are under immense pressure to adapt to climate change, crucial for crop resilience. A study reveals genetic insights ...

In one of the great triumphs of scientific experimentation, Austrian biologist and monk Johann Gregor Mendel, Darwin's contemporary, solved this problem in the mid-nineteenth century. Ironically ...

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 ...

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 ...

Within 20 years, the word was widely used by scientists who had rediscovered the work of Gregor Mendel. Mendel had meticulously recorded the results of cross-breeding pea plants, and found a very ...
