This project explores the genetic basis of flower size evolution in plants, focusing on the transition from outcrossing to self-fertilization. It aims to identify genes responsible for size changes and understand their evolutionary implications.
A fascinating challenge in biology is to understand how the evolution of molecular mechanisms leads to phenotypic variation.
In plants, the morphology of flowers is subject to strong selective pressures, given their central role for reproduction. A common trend of flower evolution is the reduction of floral display following the transition from out-breeding via animal pollinators to selfing.
This reduction of flower size is commonly assumed to reflect a conflict between pollination efficiency an…
