A functionally conserved STORR gene fusion in Papaver species that diverged 16.8 million years ago

A functionally conserved STORR gene fusion in Papaver species that diverged 16.8 million years ago

The STORR gene fusion event is a key step in the evolution of benzylisoquinoline alkaloid metabolism in opium poppy. Here, the authors combine phylogenetic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, biochemical and genomic analyses to show the STORR gene fusion occurred only once between 16.8-24.1 million years...
