Polyglutamine variation in a flowering time protein correlates with island age in a Hawaiian plant radiation.

BMC evolutionary biology - 2 Jul 2007

Lindqvist Charlotte, Laakkonen Liisa, Albert Victor A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A controversial topic in evolutionary developmental biology is whether morphological diversification in natural populations can be driven by expansions and contractions of amino acid repeats in proteins. To promote adaptation, selection on protein length variation must overcome deleterious effects of multiple correlated traits (pleiotropy). Thus far, systems that demonstrate this capacity include only...
