ROLE OF B HOMOLOGS. “Analyses of B homolog expression in such flowers have not revealed the persistent gene expression that is normally associated with a role in organ identity. Overall, these studies suggest that homeotic shifts may have occurred over the course of evolution, but there are also instances in which truly novel forms of petaloidy have evolved without the input of the B-class genes.”
