Plants have created an immense diversity of specialized metabolites to optimize fitness within a complex environment. Each plant lineage has novel often using the classical duplication/neo-functionalization model, but this is constrained by undersampled genera and absence high-quality genomes. Phylogenetically resolved genomes, deeper chemical sampling mechanistic assessment glucosinolate in Brassicales beginning fill understanding how novelty arises. This showing that small-scale duplications like tandem or distal events may more influence on formation metabolic novelty. Similarly, gene loss playing significant role across entire genera. Finally, work pathway not defined endpoint being used as launching pad for creation other metabolites. In combination, potential combining genomes with balanced phylogenetic develop improved models metabolite evolution occurs.
