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. 🌱🧬
Just in time for the weekend: our latest paper is out in Plant Biology! Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best-supported model doi.org/10.1111/plb.... #PlantBiology #Evolution #Anthocyanins #Betalains @puckerlab.bsky.social @unibonn.bsky.social
Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model
Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co-occurrence, arguing that ...

In Siberia, the lady's slipper is found in the taiga, in pine and deciduous forests. This species is protected in Siberia, as it is listed in the Red Book. This species is considered the largest.
A masterclass takedown of the "forbidden" race science from @evoroseman.bsky.social. It's incredible how when you take this stuff completely seriously, it ends up looking even more ridiculous
Charles C. Roseman: Race Science, Genetics, & Evolution: A Scientific Evaluation
In this lecture, prof. Roseman provides a criticism of so-called "race science", based on evolutionary genetic theory.

The lady's slipper orchid is easily recognized by its distinctive flower, reminiscent of a miniature slipper or slipper. Its petals and sepals are colored in delicate shades. About 40 species of orchids were once found in Siberia.

Buena Mulata is an heirloom chilli & I’ve been saving, then sowing the seeds for years. This particular plant was kept going all winter in the summerhouse, which is why it’s fruiting so early 🌶️💜🌶️💜🌶️💜🌶️💜 #chilli #chillies #homegrown #kitchengarden
