A double-flowered variety of lesser periwinkle (Vinca minor fl. pl.) that has persisted in the wild for more than 160 years.

Annals of botany - 1 Jun 2011

Wang Yong-Qiang, Melzer Rainer, Theissen Günter

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Homeotic transitions are usually dismissed by population geneticists as credible modes of evolution due to their assumed negative impact on fitness. However, several lines of evidence suggest that such changes in organ identity have played an important role during the origin and subsequent evolution of the angiosperm flower. Better understanding of the performance of wild populations of...
