Gregor Mendel

Experiments on Plant Hybridization

Gregor Mendel (1822 - 1884) was an Augustinian monk in the St. Thomas
monastery in Brno. His seminal paper Experiments in Plant Hybridization from
1865 presents his results of studying genetic traits in pea plants. It is the ground
breaking work on inheritance, being the first to differentiate between dominant and
recessive genetic traits and to present a systematic study on hybridisation. His work
was long ignored and deemed controversial, however, at its rediscovery at the turn to
the 20th century, it earned Gregor Mendel the title father of modern genetics.
