Computer artwork of the botanist Gregor Mendel
Gregor Mendel. Computer artwork of the Austrian botanist Gregor Johann Mendel (1822-1884) with a pea plant, DNA strand (orange) and sequence of genetic code (pink). Mendel discovered the basic laws of genetic heredity. He became an Augustinian monk in 1843, studied science in Vienna, Austria, during 1851-3 and became an Abbot in 1868. During 1856-63 he bred pea plants (Pisum sp.) in his monastery garden. By crossing various pea strains he demonstrated that certain traits were inherited from the parent plants in a predictable way. He is considered to be the founder of genetics. Inherited traits are now known to be carried on DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) as the genetic code

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the renowned Austrian botanist, Gregor Johann Mendel, alongside a vibrant pea plant, an orange DNA strand, and a sequence of pink genetic code. Mendel's groundbreaking discoveries in the field of genetics revolutionized our understanding of heredity. Born in 1822, he embarked on a remarkable journey that led him to become an Augustinian monk and later an Abbot. During his time at the monastery garden from 1856 to 1863, Mendel meticulously bred various strains of pea plants (Pisum sp. ), unraveling the secrets behind inherited traits. Through his meticulous crossbreeding experiments, he demonstrated that certain characteristics were predictably passed down from parent plants to their offspring. Considered as the originator of genetics and evolutionary biology, Mendel's work laid the foundation for modern-day genetic research. His pioneering studies revealed that inherited traits are encoded within DNA – deoxyribonucleic acid – serving as nature's genetic blueprint. This visually striking portrait not only pays tribute to Gregor Mendel but also highlights his significant contributions to science. It serves as a reminder of how one individual's passion for botanical exploration can unlock profound insights into life itself.
