Abstract excerpt
An analysis of the molecular evolution of two LEGCYC paralogs in Lupinus (Genisteae: Leguminosae) reveals a varied history of site-specific and lineage-specific evolutionary rates and selection both within and between loci. LEGCYC genes are homologous to regulatory loci known to control floral symmetry and adaxial flower organ identity in Antirrhinum and its relatives. Within Lupinus, L. densiflorus is unusual in...
