Plant Evolution: Repeated Loss of Floral Scent - A Path of Least Resistance?

Current biology : CB - 19 Dec 2016

Raguso Robert A

Abstract excerpt

Two independent studies converge on similar causes for olfactory loss-of-function mutants in evolutionary transitions to scentless flowers. This molecular déjà vu may reflect selection to minimize negative pleiotropy in a complex biosynthetic pathway.
