Patterns of shoot architecture in locally adapted populations are linked to intraspecific differences in gene regulation.

Abstract excerpt

• Shoot architecture, including the number and location of branches, is a crucial aspect of plant function, morphological diversification, life history evolution and crop domestication. • Genes controlling shoot architecture are well characterized in, and largely conserved across, model flowering plant species. The role of these genes in the evolution of morphological diversity in natural populations, however,...
