🧬Cool paper on the evolution of water lilies.🌺

What I liked most was how they adapted to aquatic life. The authors found 481 genes that water lilies have lost, including:

Genes involved in cell wall development — On land, plants need strong tissues to stand upright. In water, buoyancy helps support them, so some of these genes became less necessary.

Immune defense genes — Some land pathogens don’t survive in water, so water lilies likely needed fewer resistance genes.

Genes involved in toxin metabolism — On land, toxins help plants defend themselves. In water, the threats are different, so some of these genes became less necessary.

A new study in Science reveals that the global seafood trade plays a substantial role in driving exposure risk to PFAS pollutants worldwide.

The findings illustrate the need for stronger international cooperation and stricter policies to reduce human exposure to “forever chemicals” through the marine food system. https://t.co/3Q30eleqbV
