Genetic basis for innovations in floral organ identity.

Abstract excerpt

Of the many innovations associated with the radiation of the angiosperms, the evolution of a petal identity program is among the best understood from a genetic standpoint. Although the existing data do indicate that similar genetic mechanisms control petal development across diverse taxa, there is also considerable evidence for variability in petal identity programs, likely due to a number of factors. These...
