Everything about Karl Wilhelm Von N Geli totally explained
Karl Wilhelm von Nägeli (
March 27,
1817 –
May 11,
1891) was a
Swiss botanist. He discovered what would later become known as
chromosomes and apparently discouraged
Gregor Mendel from further work on genetics.
Birth and education
Nägeli was born on
March 27,
1817 in
Kilchberg near
Zurich where he studied medicine. From
1839, he studied botany under
A. P. de Candolle at
Geneva, and graduated with a botanical thesis at Zurich in
1840. His attention having been directed by
Matthias Jakob Schleiden, then professor of botany at
Jena, to the microscopical study of
plants, he engaged more particularly in that branch of research.
Academic career
Soon after graduation he became
Privatdozent and subsequently professor extraordinary, in the
University of Zurich; in
1852 he was called to fill the chair of botany in the
Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg,
Freiburg im Breisgau; and in
1857 he was promoted to
Munich, where he remained as professor until his death.
Contributions
Among his more important contributions to science were a series of papers in the
Zeitschrift fur wissenschaftliche Botanik (1844 1846);
Die neueren Algensysteme (1847);
Gattungen einzelliger Algen (1849);
Pflanzenphysiologische Untersuchungen (1855 1858), with
Carl Eduard Cramer;
Beiträge zur wissenschaftlichen Botanik (1858-1868); a number of papers contributed to the
Royal Bavarian Academy of Sciences, forming three volumes of
Botanische Mitteilungen (1861-1881); and, finally, his volume,
Mechanisch-physiologische Theorie der Abstammungslehre, published in 1884. However, perhaps Nägeli is best known nowadays for his unproductive correspondence (1866-1873) with
Gregor Mendel concerning the latter's celebrated work on
Pisum sativum, the garden pea.
