Today, I am giving a lecture on “Open Data in Plant Genomics & Evolutionary Biology” as part of the Bonn Open Science Coffee Lecture series. I will be discussing the role of #OpenData for our data-driven research on the evolution of the specialized plant metabolism.
The lecture is available via Zoom:

Low-hanging fruit: everyone sees it, few actually pick it up 🍎🍇🍉🍓🫐🍒
Our latest preprint explores dark pigmentation in blackberry, a plant characterized by low-hanging fruit. The combination of genomics and transcriptomics reveals insights into the genetics of pigment biosynthesis. High levels of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside were identified in blackberries, which may explain their dark coloration.

Botanical names and the practices that pre-serve the legacies of empire
"Plant naming is a fractious area of botany, partly because most plants are named after white, western men. Acknowledgement of female and Indigenous plant collectors is often absent from plant names and also from the botanical database records."
"While in Australia, English botanist Joseph Banks (1743-1820) collected 1,400 plants over his seven-week trip. No Aboriginal plant names were recorded. Plants were then returned to Britain and Europe to meet the growing hunger for rare natural collections. These collections became the major European museums and herbaria we know today, such as Kew Gardens in London."
"Subramaniam’s book views colonialism as a genocide, an ecocide and an epistemicide where Indigenous knowledges were mostly lost but also partly appropriated."
