Great week at #EMPSEB31 in Oberwiesenthal, Germany! I presented a poster on the evolution of a withanolide biosynthetic gene cluster in Solanaceae and gave a talk on contrasting evolutionary outcomes of anthocyanin biosynthesis: complete loss in Cucurbitaceae and pathway rewiring in Poaceae. 🌱🧬

"Evolutionary Rewiring of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Pathway in Poaceae" 🎨 We describe how grasses have reorganized the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway through gene loss, regulatory shifts, and independent evolution: 🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2025... @bpucker.bsky.social @nancy-choudhary.bsky.social

Evolutionary Rewiring of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Pathway in Poaceae

Poaceae is a species-rich family of plants in the monocots harboring many important crop species. As grasses, these plants lack striking flowers that are typically pigmented by anthocyanins. Here, we ...
