This study identifies high phenotypic variation in floral traits across Mimulus cardinalis accessions and links these variations to genetic and environmental factors.

This study modifies soybean floral traits using CRISPR to enhance pollinator attraction, revealing unexpected gene regulatory mechanisms and providing tools for hybrid seed production.

The paper investigates hybridization between two orchid species, finding that floral traits and pollinator interactions influence hybrid formation and fitness.

The paper develops a quantitative method for analyzing GC-EAD data to study insect responses to plant volatiles, showing species and sex-specific responses.

The paper manipulates flower color loci in Mimulus to test hawkmoth pollinator preferences, finding that derived colors are more attractive and that a two-locus change yields the strongest preference.
