This project investigates the evolution of specialized metabolites in plants, focusing on the betalain biosynthesis pathway in the Caryophyllales order. It aims to understand how the enzyme DODA has independently evolved multiple times, revealing insights into the genetic mechanisms behind convergent evolution and its…
As sessile organisms, plants have evolved a diverse array of specialized metabolites to respond to their environments.
Specialised metabolites are frequently restricted to particular plant lineages, such as the specialised betalain pigments, which are unique to the flowering plant order Caryophyllales - betalains will be familiar as the colour of beetroot.
However there are also striking examples of convergent evolution, with the same specialized metabolites emerging independently in different l…
