Identification of transcription factors controlling floral morphology in wild Petunia species with contrasting pollination syndromes.

Abstract excerpt

Adaptation to different pollinators is an important driver of speciation in the angiosperms. Genetic approaches such as QTL mapping have been successfully used to identify the underlying speciation genes. However, these methods are often limited by widespread suppression of recombination due to divergence between species. While the mutations that caused the interspecific differences in floral color and scent have...
