????综上所述，这项研究系统阐明了冷胁迫诱导的DNA甲基化变异在水稻适应高纬度低温环境中的关键作用，揭示了表观遗传调控在物种快速环境适应中的分子机制。为拉马克获得性遗传理论提供了分子层面上的直接证据。正如审稿专家所评价的："该研究超越了传统达尔文进化理论框架，为理解适应性进化提供了新范式"。同时，该研究还创建了"逆境驯化-表观变异鉴定-精准编辑"的作物定向抗逆育种新思路，将为应对全球气候变化下的 ...

BEIJING -- Chinese researchers have discovered molecular evidence supporting a long-debated evolutionary theory, showing that ...

Chinese researchers recently discovered molecular evidence supporting Lamarckism, a long-debated theory from the early 19th ...

Chinese research team’s investigation into cold-tolerant rice varieties revives largely-forgotten 19th century ‘giraffe ...

A study reveals that the COLD6 gene plays a crucial role in rice's ability to tolerate cold stress by triggering a signaling pathway involving the production of 2',3'-cAMP. This discovery could aid in ...

Past work from Ilardo has shown that nomadic Bajau divers in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines have especially large spleens. Even Bajau people who don’t dive seem to share this trait, ...

In addition, there is evidence that evolutionary change has already altered parts of the genome responsible for cold tolerance, and there is the potential for behavioral plasticity to enhance cold ...
