Растение переписывает собственный генетический код
Nature, March 2005

plants can overwrite the genetic code they inherit from their parents, and revert to that of their grandparents.

"Cress overtunes textbook genetics"

The study suggests that plants, and perhaps other organisms including humans, might possess a back-up mechanism that can bypass unhealthy sequences from their parents and revert to the healthier genetic code possessed by their grandparents or great-grandparents.
