Experiments in Plant Hybridisation

Published in the mid-19th century, Gregor Mendel's 'Experiments in Plant Hybridisation' details his groundbreaking research on genetic traits in pea plants. This seminal work established the foundational principles of inheritance, including the differentiation between dominant and recessive traits. Initially overlooked, Mendel's findings were rediscovered in the early 20th century, earning him recognition as the 'father of modern genetics.' His experiments laid the groundwork for the field of genetics as we know it today.
