The iconic pea plant experiments of Gregor Mendel laid the foundations for the science of genetics. Now 160 years on, an international research collaboration has used genomics, bioinformatics and ...

All of the different plants on Earth—from mango trees to marigolds—have come about thanks to the simple rules of genetic inheritance, which determine how traits are passed on from one generation to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Plant breeders have always faced a brutal trade-off: the traits that matter most for food security, like drought tolerance or ...

The history of science is full of tales of unappreciated genius. Indeed, the founder of modern genetics was not fully appreciated for his ideas until decades after his death. His name was Gregor ...

Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...
