Conservation at the sequence level of TSS1 is accompanied by a conserved, morph-specific effect of brassinosteroids on style length in distylous L. tenue and L. perenne. 6/8

We use paralog dating to estimate that WDR-44 first became co-localized with TSS1 ca 37 Mya, suggesting an ancient origin of the distyly S-locus in Linum. 5/8

Only two genes are conserved at the S-loci of L. perenne, L. grandiflorum, and L. tenue: the style length candidate gene TSS1 and the anther height/pollen self-incompatibility gene WDR-44. 4/8

We find that all Linum S-loci we studied are hemizygous in the short-styled morph, but the S-loci of L. perenne and L. grandiflorum are considerably larger than that of L. tenue, most likely due to accumulation of repetitive sequences. 3/8

New preprint! We investigated the evolution of supergenes and mechanisms underlying distyly in Linum species that diverged ca 33 Mya. 1/8

Very happy and proud of Yannick Woudstra, who just won a MSCA postdoctoral fellowship with my lab at Stockholm University as a host! His project will investigate the evolutionary fate of pollen in asexual plants, using dandelions (Taraxacum) as a model.

Finally found the time to visit one of my favorite art museums in Stockholm. This was one of my favorite pieces, aptly named “cloud”.
