Mendelian inheritance of colour of flower in the culinary pea, 1912
Mendelian inheritance of colour of flower in the culinary pea, 1912. Pink-flowered race (left), white-flowered race (right), and a cross between the two (centre). The Austrian monk Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) read his paper on Plant Hybridisation in 1865, but it went unnoticed for 34 years. Mendels Laws of Inheritance or Mendelism formed the basis of later studies in genetics. From Breeding and Mendelian Discoveryby AD Darbishire, (London, 1912)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Mendelian inheritance of flower color in the culinary pea, taken in 1912. On the left side, we see a beautiful pink-flowered race of peas, while on the right side, a white-flowered race stands tall. In the center, an intriguing cross between these two races creates a mesmerizing blend of colors. The significance of this image lies in its connection to Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk whose groundbreaking work on plant hybridization went unnoticed for over three decades after he presented it in 1865. Mendel's Laws of Inheritance or Mendelism formed the foundation for future studies in genetics and revolutionized our understanding of how traits are passed down from one generation to another. This photograph is extracted from AD Darbishire's book "Breeding and Mendelian Discovery" published in London during 1912. It serves as a visual representation of nature's intricate mechanisms and highlights the importance of scientific discovery. The vibrant hues displayed by these pea flowers symbolize not only their inherent beauty but also shed light on centuries-old questions about heredity and variation within species. As we gaze upon this snapshot captured over a century ago, we are reminded that even seemingly simple organisms like vegetables hold secrets waiting to be unraveled through diligent scientific exploration.
