This project investigates supergenes in distylous plants, focusing on the S-locus that maintains distinct floral traits. By utilizing advanced genome sequencing, it aims to uncover the genetic mechanisms behind supergene evolution and the implications for understanding complex adaptations in nature.
Understanding how adaptive combinations of traits are maintained is a central question in evolutionary biology.
Supergenes are clusters of genes that can maintain favorable trait combinations because they are inherited as a unit.
Studying supergenes allows us to address fundamental questions on the origin and evolution of complex adaptations and the effects of suppressed recombination, and is therefore of broad significance.Distylous plants offer a particularly promising opportunity to study sup…
