Correns studied botany at the University of Munich in 1885 and was encouraged while there by Carl Nageli, a botanist who Mendel corresponded with on the subject of his pea plant experiments.
After completing his thesis, Correns became a tutor at the University of Tubringen and in 1913 he became the first director of the newly founded Kaiser Wilhelm Institut fur Biologie in Berlin-Dahlem.
Correns published his first paper on January 25th, 1900, which cited both Charles Darwin and Mendel, though without fully recognising the relevance of genetics to Darwin's ideas.

Correns was a tutor at the University of Tübingen when he began to experiment with trait inheritance in plants in 1892.
Correns was active in genetic research in Germany, and was modest enough to never have a problem with scientific credit or recognition.

Correns acknowledged that the task of discovering Mendel's laws in 1900 was much simpler than it had been in the 1860s.
Correns realized that his results and conclusions were similar to those that Mendel had published in the 1860s.
Although Correns is chiefly remembered as a rediscoverer of Mendel, he eventually came to the conclusion that Mendelism could not serve as basis for a general theory linking heredity, development, cytology, and evolution.

 1900 - Rediscover Mendel
The laws of inheritance, published by the Augustinian monk Gregor Mendel in 1865 and 1866 in Brno, remained largely ignored until 1900, when time was ripe for their "rediscovery" by the German botanist Carl Correns, the Dutch botanist Hugo De Vries and the Austrian agronomist Erich von Tschermak-Seysenegg.
While Correns and De Vries were mainly interested in theoretical concepts such as the mutation theory, Tschermak recognized the practical value of these laws and applied them for developing new cultivars of crop plants.
Correns established that certain characters, e g seed colour, were inherited by successive generations according to simple ratios.

Correns is one of three men - see also Hugo de Vries and Erich von Tschermak - who, in 1900, independently re-discovered Gregor Mendel's work on genetics.

 Reading 33-1
Carl Wilhehn Nageli (1817-1891), a distinguished botany professor at the University of Munich, corresponded with Mendel and received Mendel's reprints, a reformulated explanation, packets of seed of peas with notes by Mendel, but he could not or would not understand the paper.
The so-called rediscovery of Mendelism by Hugo De Vries (1848-1935), Carl Correns (1864-1933), and Erich von Tschermak (1871-1962) was a consequence of independent investigation, although the almost simultaneous publications were related by events.
De Vries was vague on the role of dominance and Corren was convinced that the law of segregation cannot be applied universally.

 Carl Neuberg Papers , American Philosophical Society
A pioneer biochemist, Carl Neuberg (1877-1956) spent over thirty years of his productive career as a professor at the University of Berlin (1903-1937) and as Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institutes of Biochemistry and Experimental Therapy.
To say that Carl Neuberg (1877-1956) was a pioneer in biochemistry is to understate the case: he coined the term.
The 10.75 linear feet of correspondence, research notes, and photographs that survives is heavily skewed toward the last fifteen years of a long and distinguished career, representing the period between 1942 and 1956 when he was employed at New York University and in retirement.

 Gene
A second category of biologists in the second half of the nineteeenth century, to whom Carl Naegeli and August Weismann belonged, distinguished the body substance, the trophoplasm or soma, from a specific hereditary substance, the idioplasm, or germ plasm, which was assumed to be responsible for intergenerational hereditary continuity.
During that year, three botanists, Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns, and Erich Tschermak, reported on their breeding experiments of the late 1890s and claimed to have confirmed the regularities in the transmission of characters from parents to offspring that Mendel had already presented in his seminal paper of 1865 (Olby 1985, 109-37).
In this way Correns, at the beginning of the first decade of the twentieth century, distinguished a hereditary space with an independent logic and metrics from another, physiological and developmental space represented by the cytoplasm and standing for the organism.

Correns expected that there would be green to yellow in a 3:1 ratio (YY, Yy, yY, yy; with only yy not containing the dominant yellow gene).
Therefore, Correns' data had a 50 to 70% probability of diffusing this far from the ideal (his hypothesis).
Therefore, Correns' data had a 90 to 95% probability of diffusing this far from the ideal (his hypothesis).

In the late 1890s, de Vries became aware of Mendel's obscure paper of 40 years earlier, and he altered some of his terminology to match.
He retired in 1918 from the University of Amsterdam but continued his studies with new forms.

Today, due to this rediscovery of his early research, we justifiably recognize Gregor Mendel as the initial founder of genetics by referring to him as The Father of Genetics.

 Hartl and Orel (1992): MendelWeb Introduction
Mendel's work has been thought to exemplify everything from the failure of traditional modes of scientific communication (Bush [1945]) to the phenomenon of "premature scientific discovery" (Stent [1978]).
Whatever the reason, we know that in 1900, Mendel's work was cited by three botanists, writing in different parts of Europe: Hugo de Vries, in Amsterdam; Carl Correns, in Tübingen; and Eric Von Tcshermak, in Esslingen, Austria.
Although their interpretations of what Mendel had shown were arguably inaccurate, these citations caused what has come to be known as the "rediscovery" of Mendel (for an excellent introduction see Olby [1985], ch.

Interest in Heredity can be traced back to ancient cultures some 10,000 years ago as plants and animals became domesticated, and experiments and papers on the topic date back to Aristotle.
Most researchers agree that the advent of modern genetics took place in the year 1900 when three European botanists published papers on the rules of heredity: Carl Correns (German), Eric von Tschermark (Austrian) and Hugo de Vries (Dutch).
Each worked independantly and each claimed to have rediscovered an important but little known paper on heredity entitled "Experiments in Plant Hybridization" written by an Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel.
