Parallel evolution in this case could be indicative of positive selection to produce the metabolite in this environment. Indeed, plants carrying different alleles of GH38cv present different accumulation of the metabolite, and germinate, and grow better under high salt.

For this study, we resequenced beech trees from 100 populations across the distribution range. We find that genetics largely mirror geography.

1/ 🧬 "Can "jumping genes" create novelty? Sure. But how much of this novelty actually serves a purpose? Excited to share our latest preprint, where we report on an adaptive retrotransposon insertion driving rapid responses to herbicides biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 🧵

My favorate piece of my postdoc work is published! We fused our favorite TFs with a deaminase domain that induces point mutations in DNA, mutagenizing TF binding sites across the genome. Will be a great reagent for exp. evo., as its name suggests :) academic.oup.com/mbe/article…

Great news!! Our paper in the identification of unique #ABA markers for single and #combinedstresses using a #Multiomics approach has been accepted in @JXBot. Great collaboration with the Italian group of Prof. Lucini. @Mirim_science @CEBAS_CSIC

Such a gratifying surprise meeting former MPIPZ colleagues at #XVIIRBMP Castelló 2024. Some are missing in the photo; hopefully next time we can organize better for a selfie! @JimenezGomezLab @fandres1977 @mpipz_cologne

Aristotle was the first to notice honeybees dancing. In 1927 Karl von Frisch decoded the waggle. How it works was "explained" by MV Srinivasan AM FRS in the 1990s. Except @NeuroLuebbert found his papers are junk. A 🧵 about her discovery & our report: arxiv.org/abs/2405.12998 1/
