Correns, C.

…Mendel's most important contribution was his accurate realization that opposing elements (today's alleles) control alleles, and that although children inherit one of these elements from each parent, they never fuse and, when the children produce gametes, they separate and enter separate gametes. Mendel's work was forgotten for a long time, but in 1900, H. de Vries of the Netherlands, and C. Correns of Germany and E. Tschermak of Austria, reached the same conclusion from their research on peas, and Mendel's work was rediscovered. This year is usually considered the year when genetics was established. …

…On the other hand, among the other organelles collectively called organelles, mitochondria and plastids are responsible for respiration and photosynthesis, respectively, and both contain small amounts of DNA. Earlier, C. Correns (1909) speculated that genetic elements exist in the cytoplasm other than the nucleus of the cell, and named it cytoplasmic gene plasmagene. However, it was only recently that it became clear that the DNA present in organelles is the main body of cytoplasmic genes. …

…メンデルのもっとも重要な貢献は,対立形質を支配しているのは対立的な要素(現在の対立遺伝子)であり,子どもは両親からこの要素を一つずつ受けつぐが,これは決して融合せず,子どもが配偶子をつくるとき,分かれて別々の配偶子に入ることを正しく見抜いた点にある。このメンデルの業績は永らく埋もれていたが,1900年にオランダのH.ド・フリースはトウモロコシの研究から,ドイツのコレンスC.CorrensとオーストリアのチェルマックE.Tschermakはエンドウの研究から同じ結論に到達し,メンデルの業績を再発見することになった。この年をもってふつう遺伝学が確立した年とする。…

…一方,オルガネラと総称される他の細胞小器官のうち,ミトコンドリアと色素体はそれぞれ呼吸と光合成をつかさどっており,ともに少量のDNAを含んでいる。もっとも古くはコレンスC.Correns(1909)が細胞の核以外の細胞質部分にも遺伝因子が存在することを推測し,細胞質遺伝子plasmageneと名づけた。しかし,細胞小器官に存在するDNAが細胞質遺伝子の本体であることが明らかになったのはごく最近のことである。…
