Epub 2005 Aug 11的文章 是他获得教职的主要因素。文章现已经收回 http://www.thelocal.se/7031/20070418/。   浏览XYS已经有些日子,获益非浅。目睹学界乱象,任重道远。   瑞典植物研究中国教授造假   转自香港明报网上新闻   瑞典多名科学家指称,他们去年有关植物开花机制的研究结果,是根据一名 中国科学家一些造假的数据。   瑞典农业科学大学的有关研究结果,去年9月在美国《科学》杂志刊登,被 视为当年其中最重要的科学突破。该研究的重点,是分子活动如何影响植物开花。   但导领这次研究的科学家尼尔逊之后发现,一名有份参与研究的、来自中国 的教授,操控了部分数据,令研究达致想得到的结果。该名姓黄的中国教授去年 8月已离开了瑞典农业科学大学,接替他的科学家发现了问题,于是尼尔逊及其 研究员复检该中国教授的研究,并向他查证,证实他确实造假。   尼尔逊指,该名黄教授最初承认造假,但之后又反口否认。尼尔逊已去信 《科学》杂志,要求撤回该研究报告。   Manipulated data behind scientific breakthrough   One of Sweden's foremost scientific breakthroughs of the last few years was based on manipulated data.   The Umeå group behind the research has requested Science Magazine to retract the article after it found that a Chinese guest researcher had deliberately tampered with the data. The research results dealt with one of the most important questions in plant biology: How do plants know when to bloom? In the 1930s Russian researchers hypothesized the existence of a form of flowering hormone labelled 'florigen'.   Discovering the exact nature of florigen would have major implications for the forestry and agriculture industries.   In September 2005 the Umeå research group published their claims to have discovered "an important component of the elusive 'florigen' signal that moves from leaf to shoot apex."   The results were received enthusiastically by colleagues in Sweden and in the wider scientific community.   The study was considered so intriguing that Science Magazine called it the third most important scientific breakthrough of the year.   The main author of the study was Tao Huang, a guest researcher from China. Last autumn he left Umeå to be replaced by a compatriot.   Attempts by Huang's successor to repeat the experiment however ended in failure.   "This is one of the worst things that can happen to the head of a research team. I'm just glad it was we who discovered the error.   "I have informed other researchers in the field and have apologised for the mistake," professor Ove Nilsson from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences told Dagens Nyheter.   According to Nilsson, Huang neglected to include certain data in the study, while exaggerating other findings to achieve the desired result.   Four of the five researchers involved have asked for their study to be struck off the record. But Tao Huang has refused to remove his name from the study.   "He still maintains that he was right," said Ove Nilsson. (XYS20070419) ◇◇新语丝(www.xys.org)(xys.dxiong.com)(xys.3322.org)(xys.xlogit.com)◇◇
