1. Today our paper “How did Mendel arrive at his discoveries?” came out in @NatureGenetics. Why did nobody in the 19th century do what #Mendel did? We, Peter van Dijk @KeyGeneInfo, Noel Ellis @JohnInnesCentre and Adrienne Jessop, wrote a Perspective. nature.com/articles/s4158… 
2. Two recently found 1861-newspaper articles stated that Mendel had an applied vegetable breeding and a scientific research program: “Fr. Gregor Mendl is concerned with…..experiments, which are aimed at improving the vegetable and flower varieties cultivated in our region.”
3. Mendel crossed peas, beans & cucumbers. Seed traits in Mendel’s 34 pea varieties were variable and easily observable. It is plausible that Mendel with his “prepared mind” noticed the recurrent segregation patterns and that the scientific research emerged from applied breeding.
