RESUMEN
El tema del presente trabajo apunta hacia la conformación del campo disciplinario de la genética en México, entendida como la creación de las instituciones alrededor y en las que las actividades científicas se llevaron a cabo. Este tipo de reconstrucción histórica permite entender cómo se estableció la genética en las instituciones mexicanas en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Se pretende analizar las condiciones científicas y las relaciones sociales que permitieron el establecimiento de la genética en México como una nueva disciplina a principios del siglo XX, y que se consolidó e institucionalizó posteriormente hacia la segunda mitad del mismo siglo. Se examinarán los efectos que tuvieron pequeñas comunidades durante la introducción de la genética en México, la aplicación, difusión y aceptación de la genética en el gremio de los agrónomos, particularmente el del Ingeniero Edmundo Taboada Ramírez en la Escuela Nacional de Agricultura.

ABSTRACT
The theme of this work addresses the formation of genetics as a field of study in Mexico, which meant the creation of surrounding institutions in which scientific activities were carried out. This kind of historical reconstruction allows us to understand how genetics was established in Mexican institutions in the first half of the 20th century. It aims to analyze the scientific conditions and social relationships that allowed genetics to be established as a new discipline in Mexico at the start of the 20th century, as well as its later consolidation and institutionalization towards the second half of the same century. We shall examine the effects that small communities had during the introduction of genetics to Mexico, and application, dissemination and acceptance of genetics in the agronomist community, especially regarding Edmundo Taboada Ramírez at the National School of Agriculture.
