Expression inheritance and constraints on cis- and trans-regulatory mutations underlying lotus color variation.

Abstract excerpt

Both cis- and trans-regulatory mutations drive changes in gene expression that underpin plant phenotypic evolution. However, how and why these two major types of regulatory mutations arise in different genes and how gene expression is inherited and associated with these regulatory changes are unclear. Here, by studying allele-specific expression in F1 hybrids of pink-flowered sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) and...
