Genetic Mapping Reveals an Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Pathway Gene Potentially Influencing Evolutionary Divergence between Two Subspecies of Scarlet Gilia (Ipomopsis aggregata).

Abstract excerpt

Immense floral trait variation has likely arisen as an adaptation to attract pollinators. Different pollinator syndromes-suites of floral traits that attract specific pollinator functional groups-are repeatedly observed across closely related taxa or divergent populations. The observation of these trait syndromes suggests that pollinators use floral cues to signal the underlying nectar reward, and that complex...
