PERSEVERATING EVOLUTION. “During diversification of flowering plants, similar adaptive traits have been gained and even lost repeatedly, often utilizing or coopting similar GRNs. This trend is highlighted by the recurrent shifts in floral symmetry, in which there have been a hypothesized 70 shifts from radial to bilaterally symmetrical flowers and countless reversals back to radial symmetry.” (GRN = gene regulatory networks).
