This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of CYCLOIDEA gene expression during early floral development in Mimulus parishii, revealing that symmetry breaking occurs independently of auxin and BOP regulation.

This study identifies genetic changes that modulate a reaction-diffusion system and its prepatterns to explain the evolutionary transition from spots to stripes in Mimulus flowers.

This study maps QTLs for floral traits in Mimulus species to reveal a polygenic and modular genetic architecture underlying pollination syndrome divergence.

The paper identifies a molecular interaction between MlBOP and MlCYC2a that regulates flower symmetry in Mimulus by fine-tuning MlCYC2a expression.

This study maps genetic causes of hybrid incompatibility in monkeyflowers across generations, identifying structural and genic incompatibilities that reduce hybrid viability.

This study identifies genetic factors influencing floral pigment intensity and spatial patterning in hybrid monkeyflowers through QTL analysis and gene candidate hypotheses.

The paper identifies MYB5a as a gene responsible for petal lobe anthocyanin pigmentation in Mimulus luteus var. variegatus and shows its regulatory impact on the MBW network.

This study identifies RCP2, a TPR protein regulating carotenoid biosynthesis and chromoplast development in monkeyflowers, showing its independent role from RCP1.

The paper examines subgenome dominance in polyploids, showing rapid expression dominance and methylation changes across generations in hybrids and allopolyploids.
