Call for Papers: Bicentennial of the birth of J. Gregor Mendel

Gregor Mendel 1822-2022On occasion of Gregor Mendel’s 200th birthday in 2022 , Hereditas is publishing a topical series on the scientific work of Mendel.  Hereditas is therefore accepting submission of manuscripts on Mendel’s scientific work that is less-well known, or on topics that today are still under debate, e.g., the “Mendelian paradox”.  If the latter topic is presented in a manuscript, we expect a comprehensive and balanced description of the different views.

Other themes related to Mendel’s work that are of interest for Hereditas are:

- Mendel’s research on hawkweed (Hieracium)
- Mendel’s research on honeybees
- Mendel’s description of novel plant species

Deadline: 31.12.2023

Society information

The Mendelian Society of Lund was founded in 1910 and except for a short break during 1912-1916 has been active ever since. In 1920, the Society started to publish Hereditas, a scientific journal in genetics. In the post-genomic era, the scope of Hereditas has evolved to include any research on genomic analysis.
