The Luke Busta & Hiroshi Maeda labs together published our first “phylochemical map” @ThePlantJournal. Glad that our idea from 2017 PSNA meeting discussion at Missouri finally materialized, thanks to the hard work of many students during COVID and beyond! tinyurl.com/fj5ad9fv

Consider the lowly turnip. Or was it bok choy? Mizuna? It turns out they're all the same. And thanks to @UWMadison scientists, now we know they came from ancient farmers in the Hindu Kush mountains 6,000 years ago. Thanks, ancient farmers! news.wisc.edu/first-we-tamed…
