Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the factors regulating carotenoid biosynthesis in flowers. Here, we characterized the REDUCED CAROTENOID PIGMENTATION2 (RCP2) locus from two monkeyflower (Mimulus) species, the bumblebee-pollinated species Mimulus lewisii and the hummingbird-pollinated species Mimulus verbenaceus We show that loss-of-function mutations of RCP2 cause drastic down-regulation of the entire carotenoid...
