Very happy and proud of Yannick Woudstra, who just won a MSCA postdoctoral fellowship with my lab at Stockholm University as a host! His project will investigate the evolutionary fate of pollen in asexual plants, using dandelions (Taraxacum) as a model. #evolgen #EvolutionaryBiology #HorizonEU

Genetic causes and genomic consequences of breakdown of distyly in Linum trigynum

Abstract. Distyly is an iconic floral polymorphism governed by a supergene, which promotes efficient pollen transfer and outcrossing through reciprocal dif

New preprint out on the genetic causes and genomic consequences of breakdown of distyly in Linum. We present a new high-quality genome of the homostylous self-compatible species L. trigynum and compare it to its close distylous relative L. tenue. 1/5 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.16.567348v1 #Evolution #Evolgen #Genetics #PopulationGenetics

Strong purifying selection in haploid tissue-specific genes of Scots pine supports the masking theory https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msad183

This paper from @PyhaTanja lab should be of great interest to anyone interested in #HaploidSelection and #MaskingHypothesis in #EvolGen - very elegant use of haploid #MegaGametophyte tissue.

Strong purifying selection in haploid tissue-specific genes of Scots pine supports the masking theory

Abstract. The masking theory states that genes expressed in haploid stage will be under more efficient selection. In contrast, selection will be less efficient
