Dans ce numero: MYLECHREEST, Murray, The contributions to science and development of horticultural science by Thomas Andrew Knight in the nineteenth century: 7-11, 1 facs. 'Mendel was no doubt aware and probably influenced by Knight (1759-1838) even though he made no reference to Knight in 1856 in the paper presented in Brno'; STAMHUIS, Ida H., The "rediscovery" of Mendel's laws was not important to Hugo de Vries: evidence from his letters to Jan Willem Moll: 13-30, 2 photographs, 2 facs. 'In March 1900 Hugo de Vries (1848-1935) stated that he had learnt about the existence of Mendel's paper of 1866 after he had independently discovered the laws which Mendel had already formulated in the paper. He felt that Mendel's laws were a rather unimportant sideline of his work, as seen from his correspondence with Jan Willem Moll (1851-1933). De Vries never seemed impressed by Mendel's theory at all. In 1993 the A. found a file of 394 letters and postcards written by De Vries, and 54 letters of Moll, both botanists, in the Moll Archives, preserved in the library of the University of Groningen'; MATALOVÁ, Anna, Mendel's theory and complementarity: 43-49, 1 ill. 'Attention is given to Mendel's introduction of complementary pairing (hybridization) into biology. A parallel is drawn with Chargaff's discovery of complementary base-pairing in DNA'.
