Alfred Kühn (1885-1968) was known as one of the most comprehensive zoologists of his time. His research program in developmental physiological genetics was one of the first successful attempts to integrate the experimental study of development and heredity. It led him to discover the first known reaction chain from gene to phenotype. Kühn also foresaw many elements of modern evolutionary developmental biology and as a student of Weismann and mentor to many developmental geneticists of the late 20th century directly connects Weismann with molecular developmental genetics.
阿尔弗雷德·库恩(1885 - 1968)被誉为他那个时代最具综合性的动物学家之一。他在发育生理遗传学方面的研究计划是将发育与遗传的实验研究整合起来的首批成功尝试之一。这使他发现了从基因到表型的首个已知反应链。库恩还预见了现代进化发育生物学的许多要素,作为魏斯曼的学生以及许多20世纪后期发育遗传学家的导师,他直接将魏斯曼与分子发育遗传学联系在了一起。
