George Wells Beadle
George Wells Beadle , born the October 22nd 1903 with Wahoo in the Nebraska (the United States), dead the June 9th 1989, was a American Scientifique , specialist in Génétique.
Born parents farmers in the Corn Belt, Beadle continued studies of agronomy to the Université Cornell. Thereafter he worked much on the genetics of the Maïs. A keen polemic opposed it a long time, until their death in 1989, with Paul Christoph Mangelsdorf about the genetic cause of the Maïs cultivated. The theory of Beadle according to which the corn goes down from the Téosinte seems confirmed by the last discoveries in molecular biology.
He was in particular prize winner of the Nobel Prize of physiology or medicine in 1958, price which he divided with Edward Lawrie Tatum and Joshua Lederbergson for his work on biochemistry of the genetics of the mushroom Neurospora .
