The RESPEC project aims to identify the genetic basis of speciation by studying pollinator-mediated changes in Petunia species. By analyzing major-effect genes related to traits like color and scent, the project seeks to reconstruct the speciation process and enhance understanding of evolutionary mechanisms.
A central aim of contemporary research on the origin of species is to identify the genes that are functionally differentiated between nascent species.
Understanding the molecular-genetic basis of speciation will answer important questions that are of broad interest to geneticists, ecologists and evolutionary biologists.
The RESPEC project will identify such “speciation genes”, map them onto conventional phylogenies and genetically reconstruct the process of speciation.
