Abstract:Famously referred to as “Darwin’s abominable mystery,” the rapid diversification of angiosperms over the last ~140 million years presents a fascinating enigma. This diversification is underpinned by complex genetic pathways that evolve and rewire to produce diverse and sometimes novel floral forms. Morphological innovations in flowers are shaped not only by genetics but also by evolutionary constraints and ecological dynamics. The importance of model organisms in addressing the long-standing scientific questio… Show more
