Evolutionary change in flowers and inflorescences: evidence from naturally occurring terata.

Trends in plant science - 1 Feb 2003

Rudall Paula J, Bateman Richard M

Abstract excerpt

Records of naturally occurring, heritable floral abnormalities considerably enhance our understanding of floral evolution. Peloric mutants, frequent in natural populations of orchids and mints, have radially symmetric flowers but occur in species characterized by bilaterally symmetric flowers. Three distributions of peloric flowers across an inflorescence are: (1) complete (all flowers peloric, as in the...
