100-million-year-old molecular 'bypasses' may have helped grasses dominate landscapes and agriculture
100 million years ago, long before human intervention, ancestors of grasses, including wheat, rice and maize, developed "bypasses" in chemical pathways used to create two critical compounds: lignin and starch. These more efficient pathways could explain why grass plants are so successful in nature and agriculture, according to a new paper published in Science on Aug. 20 by researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and their collaborators.

Molecular 'bypasses' improve grass plants’s synthesis of lignin and starch, laying the early groundwork for evolutionary success
Like a beltway that creates a more flexible traffic flow in a city, metabolic bypasses led to efficient and robust synthesis of both lignin and starch, chemical compounds that are…
