Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: White forms of typically pigmented flowers are one of the most common polymorphisms in flowering plants. Although the range of genetic changes that give rise to white phenotypes is well known from model systems, few studies have identified causative mutations in natural populations. METHODS: Here we combine genetic studies, in vitro enzyme assays, and biochemical analyses to identify the...
