The #Poaceae family is called “#Süssgräser” in German. They have been our source of #sugar and #carbohydrates for over 10’000 years, and basis of the #Neolithic Revolution: rice, maize, wheat, millet, barley… And later #sugarcane,, with 2025.8 Megatons of harvested biomass per year!

🌾 New #preprint!
"Evolutionary Rewiring of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Pathway in Poaceae" 🎨We show how grasses have independently restructured their anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway via:
🔹 Gene loss
🔹 Regulatory shifts
🔹 Convergent evolutionA case study in how flexible plant metabolic pathways really are.

Here's a new weed to watch out for in NZ: long-flowered Veldt grass, Ehrharta longiflora.
I found one in flower yesterday. It's an annual relative of the now widespread perennial Veldt grass, Ehrharta erecta, which the NZ Plant Conservation several years ago voted the worst environmental weed in NZ. That's because it chokes out semi-shaded areas in bush where a lot of native herbaceous plants like to grow.
Long-flowered Veldt grass may not be as bad, since it's a fast-growing Spring annual, but still, do we want to take that risk?
At the moment the *only place* in all of the South Island that it's known is around the base of Hackthorne Road in Christchurch. Some effort has been made to contain it but the main property that it's on doesn't want the council on her land so it keeps spreading here.
If you find it anywhere else, that's important. Note the distinctive pinkish bracts on the flowers.

This is a #grass‽ From giant bamboos to maize and the common lawn ryegrass, #Poaceae can be quite variable. #Panicum cupressifolium from #Madagascar has minute leaves, making it look like a #cypress (hence the name).

Phylogenomic profiles of whole-genome duplications in #Poaceae and landscape of differential duplicate retention and losses https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-47428-9
#Grasses cover about 40% of the Earth's land surface, thriving in a multitude of environments. The evolutionary success of this plant family, which includes rice, maize, wheat and bamboo, likely results from a history of whole-#genome duplications.

You ever just look at grass flowers? They're so understated, yet surprisingly beautiful. Truly the unsung heroes of the flowering plants.
They're extremely delicate. They come in every color and shade, in every shape and arrangement. Their fragile stigmas and anthers hang in the open air, exposed and vulnerable, relying on the random fates of the wind to ensure the continued survival of their lineages.
Grass grows to be as small as a kitten, or as large as a dragon. Their seeds sustain more people than any other plant in the world. Grasses are so prominent where they grow that entire sections of the Planet Earth are named after them: Grasslands.
The lands of the grass.
Many of us humans think ourselves to be the ones with domain over this world, yet our existence is owed to the grasses, and even we acknowledge the essential fact that the land belongs to the grass. And the grass? It belongs to no one.

Thanks! I'm in NYC, so those can work for me.I've had Lauren Brown's "Grasses" a long time. She has a newer book out I should get.
