    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 evolution

    A case study in how flexible plant metabolic pathways really are.
