The tasty orange, grown in southern China, would turn sour once it is grown in the north” is a very popular proverb in China for thousands of years, and it has been taught to many teenagers for the philosophy behind it. However, many researches seem to prove that the proverb may be wrong scientifically. Therefore, we decide to explore this problem from many aspects. Hopefully, our research can play a good role in the popularization of science and stimulate the interest of some teenagers to biology.
