中文摘要：

多细胞生物的成熟个体都足由单细胞的受精卵发育而来的。如果把成熟个体的表型看成生命存在的式样或模式（pattern），那么发育就是形成和产生这种式样或模式的过程，即塑造（patterning）或发育塑造（developmental patterning）。相应地，对原来发育过程进行修饰或改变而产生新表型的过程就是发育重塑（developmental repatterning）。已有的研究结果表明，发育重塑在多细胞生物的进化过程中非常普遍，也非常重要。根据突变的类犁利后果．发育重塑既包括对相同基因在表达的时、空和量上的改变，分别为异时（heterochrony）、异位（heterotopy）和异量（heterometry），义包括对基因类型的改变，即异型（heterotypy）。本文通过对一些经典案例的介绍，揭示了发育重翅与表型变化的关系，探讨发育重塑对生物多样性的贡献。

英文摘要：

Adult individuals of multieellular organisms are derived from single cells, the zygote. If the phenotype of a mature organism is regarded as a pattern of existence, then the process that generates the pattern can be called developmental patterning. Consequently, modification or alteration of the original developmental trajectory to generate novel phenotype（s） is the process of developmental repatterning. Accumulated data in recent years suggest that developmental repatterning is not only widespread, but is also very important during the evolution of multicellular organisms. According to the type and consequence of mutation, developmental repatterning can be divided into four main types： heterochrony, heterotopy, heterometry, and heterotypy. Heterochrony, heterotopy and heterometry refer to changes of gene expression over time, space and in amount/concentration, respectively, while heterotypy is the replacement of gene product. Here, by introducing examples of developmental repatterning, we explain the relationship between developmental repatterning and phenotypic evolution, and discuss its contribution to biodiversity.
