GBE | Unraveling the Genome of Epidendrum Fulgens: Demographic History and Gene Family Dynamics in a Resilient Neotropical Orchid Photo: Fábio Pinheiro Epidendrum fulgens is an endemic Brazilian orchid species distinguished by its bright orange flowers and its distribution along coastal sand dunes.

@jacqmattos.bsky.social et al. present the first chromosome-scale assembly from the orchid Epidendrum, and identify two events of population expansion and retraction in E. fulgens demographic history.

Mastering the #Wheat #Genome: The GRF4-GIF1 Revolution 📖🌾

Why is wheat so hard to transform? It often comes down to the plant’s inability to regenerate from single cells. Enter #GRF4-GIF1 —a molecular "master switch" for regeneration.

The Evolutionary Flexibility of the Drosophila Circadian Clock: Network Constraints or Adaptive Freedom? Abstract. The study of network evolution is critical to understanding how complex biological processes arise and adapt over time. Protein networks, compose

Creasey, Petrov & Tauber analyze the evolution of 11 core clock proteins across 65 Drosophila species, finding that the circadian clock network does not impose strong constraints on the evolution of its components.

GBE | Tachinid Endoparasitoid Flies do not Rely on Domesticated Viruses, Unlike Multiple Hymenopteran Lineages

Oukkal et al. find that, unlike endoparasitoid hymenopterans, endoparasitoidism in tachinid flies is not associated with viral domestication, possibly due to differences in venom use and host immune system avoidance.
