CCMB scientists unravel Darwin’s ‘abominable mystery’ with discovery in flowering plants – DoonWire
Scientists at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) in Hyderabad have uncovered a key genetic innovation that could solve Charles Darwin’s so-called “abominable mystery”: the rapid and diverse emergence of flowering plants roughly 130 million years ago. The study, published recently in Nature Plants, reveals that a newly identified gene, named SHUKR, meaning […]
