Delighted to share our latest work on the deep divergence of land plants! @jandevries.bsky.social #Phylogenomics #Embryophytes #Terrestrialization www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Fantastic conference for land plant and algal colleagues! It is a strong and brilliant community!! meetings.embo.org/event/25-pla...

Our paper on the evolution (duplicated) gene expression divergence in spatially resolved plant transcriptomes is now out @theplantcell.bsky.social w/ @yvdp.bsky.social #PlantSci #Evolution academic.oup.com/plcell/advan...

Fantastic conference and very nice to meet colleagues working on algae and land plants!

This has been great: #Phylogenomics unveil a recent origin of morphological complexity in Coleochaetophyceae.

My first paper is finally out! 🥳 We explored how genes get lost in the process of rediploidization following polyploidization and found out that this loss primarly occurs through DNA deletion, rather than pseudogenization. #polyploidy @yvdp.bsky.social @zhen-li.bsky.social rdcu.be/evxBs

Polyploid success isn’t just about growing fast—it’s about outcompeting progenitors! 🌱 We had neopolyploid duckweed and their progenitor invade each other, testing how stress & frequency-dependent growth shape WGD success... or failure. @yvdp.bsky.social #polyploid #duckweed doi.org/10.1101/2025...
