  2. Uniparental inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniparental_inheritance

    Like all other genetic concepts, the discovery of uniparental inheritance stems from the days of an Augustinian priest known as Gregor Johann Mendel. The soon-to-be "father of modern genetics" spent his days conducting hybridization experiments on pea plants( Pisum sativum ) in his monastery's garden.

  3. Plant genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_genetics

    An image of multiple chromosomes, taken from many cells. Plant genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity specifically in plants. [1] [2] It is generally considered a field of biology and botany, but intersects frequently with many other life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems.

  4. Test cross - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_cross

    The first uses of test crosses were in Gregor Mendel’s experiments in plant hybridization.While studying the inheritance of dominant and recessive traits in pea plants, he explains that the “signification” (now termed zygosity) of an individual for a dominant trait is determined by the expression patterns of the following generation.

  5. Dihybrid cross - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihybrid_cross

    The idea of a dihybrid cross came from Gregor Mendel when he observed pea plants that were either yellow or green and either round or wrinkled. Crossing of two heterozygous individuals will result in predictable ratios for both genotype and phenotype in the offspring. The expected phenotypic ratio of crossing heterozygous parents would be 9:3:3 ...

  6. Punnett square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punnett_square

    The Punnett square is a visual representation of Mendelian inheritance, a fundamental concept in genetics discovered by Gregor Mendel. [10] For multiple traits, using the "forked-line method" is typically much easier than the Punnett square.

  7. Backcrossing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backcrossing

    In plants, the term inbred backcross line (IBL) refers to a line (i.e. population) of plants derived from the repeated backcrossing of a line with artificially recombinant DNA with the wild type, operating some kind of selection that can be phenotypical or through a molecular marker (for the production of an introgression line).

  8. List of plant hybrids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_plant_hybrids

    This is a list of plant hybrids created intentionally or by chance and exploited commercially in agriculture or horticulture. The hybridization event mechanism is documented where known, along with the authorities who described it.

  9. List of Fabaceae genera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fabaceae_genera

    This is a list of genera in the plant family Fabaceae, or Leguminosae, commonly known as the legume, pea, or bean family, are a large and economically important family of flowering plants of about 794 genera [1] and nearly 20,000 known species.
