FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend on the evo-devo concept. This paper examines the genetic basis for flower morphological adaptive changes. These include genetic redundancy, the fact that morphology genetic drivers are different from metabolic pathway drivers. The multi-level and nuanced capacities of the plant genome are exemplified in how flowers may change shape to adapt to new conditions.
