...1. Rose 2. Dandelion 3. Lily 4. Pea The humble pea plant is the source of knowledge from which the discipline of genetics has developed. It highlights the great partnership between botany and medical science in that not only do plants provide useful drugs, but, they form the foundation of our genetic knowledge. What Herr Mendel discovered was that certain traits, in this case the colour of the pea plant, were either dominant or recessive (this is a bit simplistic, as other traits can be co-dominant). Mendel observed that when smooth yellow peas were crossed with wrinkly green peas, all the offspring in the F1 (first filial generation) were smooth and yellow. His experiment continued with the crossing of the F1 pea plants and this time 75% were smooth and yellow and 25% were wrinkly green. Voila, the birth of modern genetics. Unfortunately for Mendel, his experiments and results were largely ignored for the best part of 35 years.
