160 Years Later, Mendel’s Peas Are Still Changing Science

A global team mapped pea genomic diversity, advancing breeding research, revisiting Mendel’s traits, and boosting sustainable agriculture. Gregor Mendel’s pioneering experiments with pea plants laid the foundation for the science of genetics more than 160 years ago. Now, an international team of researchers has harnessed genomics, bioinformatics, and genetics to map the diversity of a [...]
