description: "Edith Rebecca Saunders FLS was a British geneticist and plant anatomist. Described by J. B. S. Haldane as the \"Mother of British Plant Genetics\", she played an active role in the re-discovery of Mendel's laws of heredity, the understanding of trait inheritance in plants, and was the first collaborator of the geneticist William Bateson. She also developed extensive work on flower anatomy, particularly focusing on the gynoecia, the female reproductive organs of flowers."
