This project explores the evolution of petal structures in flowering plants, specifically the Caryophyllales. It aims to understand the genetic mechanisms behind the re-evolution of conical cells on petals through the study of specific gene families.
Our project concerns the evolution of petal conical cells in a group of flowering plants, the Caryophyllales.
The fellow has determined that following a loss of petals in the Caryophyllales, petals have subsequently re-evolved 9 times.
Conical cells, which perform a vital role in interacting with pollinators, often occur on these re-evolved petals.
The host has demonstrated that MIXTA-like R2R3 MYB genes specify conical cells in distant lineages of flowering plants.
We hypothesise that recurrent…
