In this episode, we’ll learn about Gregor Mendel, who used pea plants to study genetics. All of the different plants on Earth—from mango trees to marigolds—have come about thanks to the simple rules ...

As an aficionado of pea pollination, I know true fascination with genetics. Trump’s bigotry? Not it. My name is Gregor Mendel, and I am a friar and the founder of genetics. I spent decades of my life ...

The study of genetic diversity and trait mapping in pea has progressed significantly with recent advances in high‐throughput sequencing and genome‐wide association studies. Recent research has ...

Researchers have discovered the genetic sequencing behind two mutations in peas responsible for high iron content. This discovery could aid future research into improving biofortification. Using a ...

A genetic breakthrough has opened new opportunities for iron-fortified vegetables and cereal crops to help address the global health issue of anaemia. John Innes Centre researchers used a newly ...

The field of modern genetics is rooted in plant experiments performed by pioneering scientist Gregor Johann Mendel (1822-1884). In 1865, Mendel began studying heredity by experimenting with pea plants ...
