In 1889, Hugo De Vries published his book Intracellular Pangenesis in which he suggested that different characters are caused by different inherited particles which he called pangenes. This idea was based on a modified version of the theory of pangenesis first put forward by Charles Darwin in 1868. The word gene was introduced by Wilhelm Johannsen in 1909, in a book called Elemente der exakten Erblichkeitslehre. He also introduced the terms genotype(the genetic makeup of an individual) and phenotype (the observable features of an individual). De Vries (1848 - 1935) was a Dutch botanist and one of the first geneticists. Johannsen (1857 - 1927) was a Danish botanist, plant physiologist and geneticist.
