Abstract excerpt
Understanding the genetic basis of species differences in flowering time and inflorescence architecture can shed light on speciation and molecular breeding. Melastoma shows rapid speciation, with about 100 species formed in the past few million years, and, meanwhile, possesses high ornamental values. Two largely sympatric and closely related species of this genus, M. candidum and M. normale, differ markedly in...
