ABC1K7: A 350-Myr chloroplast rheostat fine-tuned during coconut domestication
Perennial crops follow different domestication trajectories from annuals, yet the molecular basis of slow-variable domestication - subtle tuning of conserved regulatory hubs - remains poorly characterized. We reconstructed the evolutionary history of the chloroplast kinase ABC1K7 across 9 seed plant species spanning ~350 Myr, employing PAML codon models, IQ-TREE robust codon models, and…
