Abstract：
Organisms experience a constantly changing environment and must adjust their development to maximize fitness. These \"life histories\" are fantastically diverse and have fascinated biologists for decades. Recent work published in Cell reveals the complex genetic mechanisms that drive life-history variation within and among species in the Brassicaceae plant family.
摘要：
生物体经历不断变化的环境，必须调整其发展以最大限度地适应。这些“生活史”非常多样化，几十年来一直吸引着生物学家。最近发表在《细胞》上的工作揭示了复杂的遗传机制，这些机制驱动了十字花科植物家族物种内部和物种之间的生活史变异。
