Integrating physiology, transcriptomics and phylogenomics reveals the adaptive evolution of biennial fruiting in angiosperms.

Most angiosperms complete fruit maturation within a single growing season, but a few lineages require two. However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying this prolonged fruit development (PFD), and whether it represents a shared ancestral trait or a convergent adaptation, remain unresolved. Here we inve...
