Single gene mutation in a plant MYB transcription factor causes a major shift in pollinator preference.

Current biology : CB - 19 Dec 2022

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the molecular basis of reproductive isolation and speciation is a key goal of evolutionary genetics. In the South American genus Petunia, the R2R3-MYB transcription factor MYB-FL regulates the biosynthesis of UV-absorbing flavonol pigments, a major determinant of pollinator preference. MYB-FL is highly expressed in the hawkmoth-pollinated P. axillaris, but independent losses of its activity in...
