Convergence and parallelism in the evolution of plant metabolism

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Similar traits in different organisms may originate from shared ancestry or evolve independently. The terminology used to define phenotypic similarity is often confusing. This review attempts to clarify the definitions and present examples from plant domestication and specialized metabolism to explain how complex traits evolve repeatedly in plants ...
