Abstract excerpt
The flowers of distylous plants exhibit two distinct morphologies that facilitate precise pollen transfer. Averrhoa carambola, a woody plant characterized by distyly, has an unclear molecular regulatory mechanism underlying this trait. Its prolonged flowering period and substantial flower production render it an excellent model for investigating the distylous syndrome. This study aims to elucidate the mechanism...
