Gregor Mendel presents his experiments on plant hybridization

Gregor Mendel read his paper on plant hybridization to the Natural History Society of Brno in Moravia on 8 February 1865.

Mendel presented 'Versuche über Pflanzenhybriden' at the Natural History Society of Brno. The paper detailed genetic traits in pea plants, establishing the laws of inheritance. This event is considered the origin of Mendelian inheritance, though the paper was published in 1866 and initially had little impact.
