I think we will be wasting our valuable time dissecting T.D.
Lysenko's scientific "achievements." Lysenko did not quite
understand how gene's action could be altered by micro-manipulation
of environment. I am sure by now plant physiologists know which
genes' actions were altered by low temperature treatment
(vernalization).
Mr. Imran Habib Ruman wrote a short article in Bangla trying to
defend the "good" name of Lysenko. Mr. Imran Habib is not an
authority on Darwinism; therefore, whatever he writes on genetics,
evolution, etc., should not be considered authoritative.
I would have ignored his write-up, which is not sound from the
perspective of modern biology. He should read the findings coming
out of functional genomics. A smattering of knowledge in plant
physiology and genetics could lead up to a write-up like his. This
person hardly knows the aftereffect of Lysenkoism in Russia. Mr.
Lysenko single-handedly had killed the growth of biology in former
Soviet Union. Russia has produced outstanding mathematicians,
physicists, and chemists but that cannot be said of biologists. The
entire Eastern Europe is still trying to catch-up in Biology. And
Lysenko is responsible for this mishap.
May I recommend Mr. Imran Habib Ruman not to waste anymore time on
this bogus subject? Scientists are now involved in directed
evolution. In my lab we perform site-directed mutagenesis to change
the structure of a protein to adapt a new environment. Mother Nature
is doing millions of these experiments everyday to make an species
more fit to an environment, which is changing due to anthropogenic
activities.
