... Rev. Gregor Mendel(1822-1884)... grew peas, and saw that various traits(size, color, wrinkles) were passed from one generation to the next. Much more importantly, he saw that peas have pairs of some kind of hereditary factor. The pairs do not compromise with each other; either one or the other will be dominant. That is, if you cross a tall pea with a dwarf pea, you get some tall and some dwarf peas, but no peas of medium height. Further, in the first generation of cross-pollinated peas, they will all be tall, and in the next generation there will be three tall pea plants for every one dwarf. 2, record 1, English, - dwarf%20pea

Si [les plantes intéressantes] sont autostériles ou présentent trop de perte de vigueur en autofécondation, on les multiplie végétativement (éclatement de souche, bouturage, etc.) afin d'obtenir des "clones".
