Convergence and parallelism in the evolution of plant metabolism.

Journal of integrative plant biology - 1 Apr 2026

Scossa Federico, Bulut Mustafa, Naake Thomas, D'Auria John C, Fernie Alisdair R

Abstract excerpt

Convergence and parallelism are contentious terms in evolutionary biology, but both denote essentially a ubiquitous phenomenon: The occurrence of similar phenotypes, in different evolutionary lineages, in a way that cannot be easily reconducted to descent from a shared ancestor. In this article, we trace the historical definitions of the two terms and the current conceptual frameworks to classify instances of...
