For more than a century, heredity has been framed through the tidy logic of Mendel’s pea plants: traits pass from parent to ...

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 ...

Using this system, we can map out the genetics of animals and see what combinations of genes the parents pass on to their calves. This is the key to understanding inheritance. Coat color basics Cattle ...

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 ...

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 ...

My name is Gregor Mendel, and I am a friar and the founder of genetics. I spent decades of my life staring at pea plants. I bred them with each other. I observed the traits of their offspring. I ...

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 ...

Humans love to play with their food—in fact, we’ve been doing it for thousands of years. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we explore how we’ve learned to manipulate plant genetics, from ...
