The paper investigates whether coding-sequence changes in MYB5a contributed to anthocyanin pigmentation divergence between two Mimulus species, finding non-coding cis-regulatory evolution was the key factor.

The paper develops a multi-generational Turing model to explain transgressive petal phenotypes in hybrid Mimulus by simulating gene regulatory networks and pattern formation.

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 investigates genomic imprinting and epigenetic changes in hybrids of Mimulus guttatus and M. luteus, revealing altered methylation and expression patterns that contribute to endosperm-based hybrid incompatibilities.

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