Gregor Mendel used pea plants for his hereditary experiments
Mendel was cross-breeding plants. His work with pea plants supported Darwin. I guess he was a plant geneticist.
Pea Plant
Mendel was a monk who was involved in growing food for the monastery in which he lived. The plant that was the most interest to him was the pea plant. Gregor Mendel systematically tracked dominant and recessive traits in his pea plants. Mendel published his work on the statistics of genetic dominance in 1866 but few people paid much attention to it until much latter.

Gregor Mendel
Gregor Mendel took two different colored pea plants: one had traits for white plants and the other had traits for a red plant. When Mendel cross bred the two plants, a plant with traits for a pink plant grew. This is how Mendel contributed to the understanding of inherited traits.
