科学家们通过基因研究解决了80年悬而未决的谜题:植物怎么知道何时开花?这项研究通过了解简单植物拟南芥的开花机制,以便更好地了解水稻等更复杂植物中的相同基因的工作原理。确定植物开花的适当时机,最重要的是这株植物是否能繁殖成功,涉及分子活动的序列、植物的生物钟和阳光等因素。华盛顿大学生物学助理教授今泉(Takato Imaizum)i说“:我们在这项研究中了解了名为拟南芥的 Scientists Solve 80 Years of Unresolved Puzzles through Genomics: How Do Plants Know When to Bloom? This study examines the flowering mechanism of Arabidopsis thaliana, a simple plant, to better understand the role of the same gene in more complex plants like rice working principle. Determine the appropriate timing of plant flowering, the most important is whether the plant can reproduce successfully, involving molecular activity of the sequence, the plant’s clock and sunlight and other factors. Takato Imaizum, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Washington, said: ”We learned in this study that the name of Arabidopsis
