Evolutionary consequences of repeated loss of distyly in Linum
Abstract. The breakdown of distyly, a polymorphism that promotes disassortative pollination between two floral morphs, is often assumed to increase self-fe

Darwin was fascinated by primrose flowers coming in two forms. We were fascinated by a different question: Wow does this system arise at genetically, and what happens when it evolves more than once? Our new paper in #ScienceAdvances @science.org has the answers! 🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Distinct genomic architectures but the same gene underlie the convergent evolution of a plant supergene
High-quality genome assemblies from multiple plant species reveal different paths of evolution in supergenes.

I'll be presenting some results about loss of distyly in Linum at @official-smbe.bsky.social during poster session B on Tuesday! Where: Arkanden 6, poster no B340 🤗
Go check out our new preprint about the loss of distyly in multiple Linum species 👇🌸 Many thanks to all co-authors!!
Tanja Slotte@tanjaslotte.bsky.social · 7mo agoIs loss of distyly always associated with high selfing rates? And what are the genomic consequences? Read more about this in our new preprint on repeated loss of distyly in Linum, led by @zopos.bsky.social and @panazerv.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Now out in Science ! Go check it out 👇👇
Camille Roux@crouxevo.bsky.social · last yr.Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... ), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants
The final version of our paper on the evolution of supergenes and mechanisms underlying distyly in Linum is now up at New Phytologist doi.org/10.1111/nph....
Genomic studies in Linum shed light on the evolution of the distyly supergene and the molecular basis of convergent floral evolution
Distyly, an example of convergent evolution, is governed by a supergene, the S-locus, in several species. Recent studies highlight similar genomic architectures of independently evolved S-loci, but ...
