Abstract excerpt
Pollination syndromes are a key component of flowering plant diversification, prompting questions about the architecture of single traits and genetic coordination among traits. Here, we investigate the genetics of extreme floral divergence between naturally hybridizing monkeyflowers, Mimulus parishii (self-pollinated) and M. cardinalis (hummingbird-pollinated). We mapped quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for 18...
