Replicated repurposing of an ancestral transcriptional complex in land plants

Thea E. Kongsted, Facundo Romani, Chiara A. Airoldi, Jim P. Haseloff, Beverley J. Glover

The paper identifies ancestral MBW transcriptional complexes in liverworts, showing their role in flavonoid pathway regulation and oil body maturation, and suggests a pattern of evolutionary duplication and co-option in land plants.
