High-resolution mapping of the S-locus in Turnera leads to the discovery of three genes tightly associated with the S-alleles.

Abstract excerpt

While the breeding system known as distyly has been used as a model system in genetics, and evolutionary biology for over a century, the genes determining this system remain unknown. To positionally clone genes determining distyly, a high-resolution map of the S-locus region of Turnera has been constructed using segregation data from 2,013 backcross progeny. We discovered three putative genes tightly linked with...
