Versuche Über Pflanzenhybriden, published in 1866 by Gregor Mendel, presents his pioneering research on plant hybridization using pea plants (Pisum). Through systematic crossbreeding, Mendel established the principles of inheritance, identifying dominant and recessive traits that laid the groundwork for modern genetics. Initially overlooked, this work gained recognition in the early 20th century and is now regarded as a cornerstone of biological science, influencing the field of genetics significantly.
