In 2015 there are 150 years since the presentation of Gregor Mendel's famous breeding experiments with peas and other plants. While Mendel's results did not have much immediate impact, their "rediscovery" in 1900 formed the basis for the field of genetics and for the "modern synthesis" that remains the backbone of evolutionary biology.
In this one-day symposium we will discuss the historical impact of Mendel's discovery and debate its present-day relevance in modern genetics.
