Ancient hybridization underlies tuberization and radiation of the potato lineage
Genomic and functional analyses reveal that the potato lineage originated from a homoploid interspecific hybridization event between the Tomato and Etuberosum lineages 8–9 million years ago. The alter...

🌿 Arabidopsis all grown up and ready to dry!
The chambers are empty, the trays are full — summer mode until September.
Time to let nature (and desiccation) do its thing. ☀️🌱
