Edith Rebecca Saunders was a pioneering British geneticist and plant anatomist who made significant contributions to the field of plant genetics. Known as the “Mother of British Plant Genetics,” she played a crucial role in the rediscovery of Mendel’s laws of heredity and collaborated closely with geneticist William Bateson. Saunders conducted extensive research on flower anatomy, focusing on the gynoecia, which are the female reproductive organs of flowers, and contributed to the understanding of trait inheritance in plants.
