Article Synopsis
- Plants produce a wide range of specialized metabolites to help them adapt to varying environmental challenges, leading to a lot of diversity among species.
- Recent studies are uncovering how new genetic variations (alleles) that control these metabolites arise and how their distribution is influenced by ecological and demographic factors.
- Research on 797 natural plant accessions demonstrates that geography, environment, and genetic processes all interact to affect metabolite variation, hinting at complex selective forces that drive local adaptations.
