According to a decade-long study published in the journal Nature, simply being genetically engineered does not make a plant any more likely to become an invasive or persistent weed. 这样改写一下楼主能更容易理解，

According to a decade-long study published in the journal Nature，介词短语作状语;  being genetically engineered 做主语; does not make 做谓语; a plant 做宾语 any more likely to become an invasive or persistent weed.做宾语补足语

虽然being的结构GMAC不提倡使用，但这个句子中需要强调被动语态做主语，因此用了being。

是因为B中because引导的原因状语从句不可以做主语么?

because引导的原因状语从句不可以做主*句* ;-)

AlienX

in short, 所有從句(to be precise, "subordinate clause")都不可以做主句.

蓝飞

就是"连词+句子"这样的结构不能做句子的主语?eg:because it is genetically engineered
            does not make a plant any more likely to......

AlienX

oh, I see your question now...
umm...一般常見的是"That/What/Whoever/etc S+V+O"當主語.
Because S+V+O當主語有點怪, 記憶中好像沒見過...
等NN來confirm

AlienX

alright, 被mm攪渾了...其實我巳說了, 看6th floor ;-)
