Evolutionary transitions in floral color

MD Rausher - International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2008 - journals.uchicago.edu
The tremendous diversity in flower color among angiosperms implies that there have been
numerous evolutionary transitions in this character. The conventional wisdom is that a large …
