Journal ArticleDOI
Floral volatile alleles can contribute to pollinator-mediated reproductive isolation in monkeyflowers (Mimulus).
TL;DR: It is shown that these two species differ in three floral terpenoid volatiles - d-limonene, β-myrcene, and E-β-ocimene - that are attractive to bumblebee pollinators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two MYB Proteins in a Self-Organizing Activator-Inhibitor System Produce Spotted Pigmentation Patterns.
Baoqing Ding,Erin Patterson,Srinidhi V. Holalu,Srinidhi V. Holalu,Jingjian Li,Grace A. Johnson,Lauren E. Stanley,Anna B. Greenlee,Foen Peng,Harvey D. Bradshaw,Michael L. Blinov,Benjamin K. Blackman,Benjamin K. Blackman,Yao-Wu Yuan +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the properties of these two proteins correspond to an activator-inhibitor pair in a two-component, reaction-diffusion system, explaining the formation of dispersed anthocyanin spots in monkeyflower petals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movements of genes between populations: are pollinators more effective at transferring their own or plant genetic markers?
TL;DR: The relative effectiveness of the pollinator at introducing markers into its own populations was higher than the rate it introduced markers into the plant's populations, but given the demographic differences between plant and pollinator, pollen transfer effectiveness is remarkably high.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dominant-negative actin mutation alters corolla tube width and pollinator visitation in Mimulus lewisii.
Baoqing Ding,Fengjuan Mou,Fengjuan Mou,Wei Sun,Shilin Chen,Foen Peng,Harvey D. Bradshaw,Yao-Wu Yuan +7 more
TL;DR: The characterization of a semi-dominant mutant in the monkeyflower species Mimulus lewisii is reported, with a substantial decrease in corolla tube width but no change in tube length, suggesting a surprising potential role for a 'housekeeping' gene in fine-tuning the development of an ecologically important floral trait.
Journal ArticleDOI
Less is more: Independent loss-of-function OCIMENE SYNTHASE alleles parallel pollination syndrome diversification in monkeyflowers (Mimulus).
TL;DR: The molecular evidence suggests that parallel loss-of-function in OS is the best explanation for the observed pattern of E-β-ocimene emission, likely as the result of natural selection.
