Floral KNOX Expression Supports Parallel Evolution of Nectar Spurs in Snapdragon Relatives (Antirrhineae: Plantaginaceae). [PDF]

Evol Dev
Nectar spurs have evolved four times across the Antirrhineae. Spur development on ventral petals has been associated with floral KNOX gene expression. KNOX expression across evolutionary events suggests parallel molecular evolution of spurs. ABSTRACT Nectar spurs are tubular outgrowths of perianth tissue—a key innovation that has evolved many times ...

Stacked scattering: The key to bright flowers lies in the mesophyll. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise The coloration of flowers is caused by wavelength‐selective absorption by pigments and scattering of light by floral structures. Although the molecular, physiological, and chemical properties of floral pigments have been studied in considerable detail, how floral structures contribute to the visual signal remains largely unknown.
