Similar genetic mechanisms underlie the parallel evolution of floral phenotypes.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Zhang Wenheng, Kramer Elena M, Davis Charles C

Abstract excerpt

The repeated origin of similar phenotypes is invaluable for studying the underlying genetics of adaptive traits; molecular evidence, however, is lacking for most examples of such similarity. The floral morphology of neotropical Malpighiaceae is distinctive and highly conserved, especially with regard to symmetry, and is thought to result from specialization on oil-bee pollinators. We recently demonstrated that...
