Carl Correns (Munich, 1864 – Berlin, 1933), a botanist at the University of Tübingen, publishes in April 1900 "G. Mendels Regel über das Verhalten der Nachkommenschaft der Rassenbastarde" in the Berichte der Deutschen Botanischen Gesellschaft, independently rediscovering Mendel's laws. Correns experimented mainly with maize and peas. He was the most rigorous of the three in citing and acknowledging Mendel's priority, and the one who formulated the laws most precisely in modern terms. Correns also later described cytoplasmic or maternal inheritance, adding a non-Mendelian dimension to genetics.
