Apomixis in Boechera isn't a quirk—it’s driven by fragile genomic sites, B chromosomes, and chromosome fissions.
Key takeaway: Evolution is reusing these fragile regions repeatedly to trigger apomixis. Not just dosage, but structural evolution! #PlantSci #Evolution #Genetics #PAG33

🌱 Here's some cool new work exploring adaptation through gene expression! This study on Boechera stricta across elevational gradients shows significant genetic variation and signatures of selection in gene expression, especially in traits related to light, circadian rhythm, and development.
