Ph1 gives wheat's genome its stability but has to be switched off to make it easier to slot in new genes.

Ph 1使小麦的基因组的稳定性增加，但是如果想要更容易配组新基因就要打乱该染色体。

Graham Moore of the John Innes Centre in Norwich is targeting part of a chromosome called Ph1 which ensures wheat genes pair up correctly.

坐落于诺里奇的约翰英纳斯中心的摩尔，正针对研究一组名为Ph 1染色体，该染色体的作用是确保小麦基因配对正确。

Mr Moore has found that bathing the genetic material with a substance called okadaic acid (a toxin that occurs in mussels) enables Ph1 to be switched on and off.

摩尔先生发现，把遗传物质浸泡在一种叫做冈田酸（一种毒素，贻贝中发现的）的物质中，Ph1染色体可以旋开旋闭。
