Garrecht, @plantevodevo-ab.bsky.social et al. conducted a comprehensive analysis of streptophyte algae and land plants, finding that the LUG and SEU genes have existed for at least 800 Myr, with specific domains remaining nearly invariant. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msag154 #societyjournal #PlantSky

The 2025 "My favourite flowering image". The brightest orange: California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) flowers as windows into evolutionary developmental genetics. Two fused sepals form a hat-like structure that has already dehisced, while four free bright orange petals adorn the blossom. Inside the flower, though not visible from this perspective, are numerous stamens arranged in several whorls and a gynoecium composed of two carpels. The gynoecium is surrounded by a floral cup forming a wide rim, which can be seen on the lower left, once all other organs have fallen off. (Image credit: Annette Becker.)
