Obtaining functional data is an essential component in understanding mechanisms underlying morphological variation. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a reverse genetic technique for identifying the function of target loci through viral mediated transcript knockdown. Here we introduce this...

Development and Evolution of Complex Reproductive Traits in the Brassicaceae and Cleomaceae
DownloadSpring 2023
Flowering plants exhibit a bewildering diversity of forms, which raises fundamental questions on how that diversity arises. A cornerstone of evolutionary developmental biology is the expansion of comparative landscapes and establishment of focal clades that enable investigation of complex and...

Pollination biology and transcriptomics of Cleomaceae species exhibiting different pollination systems
DownloadFall 2018
Pollinator mediated-selection is responsible for much of the phenotypic diversity exhibited by flowers. Flowering plants or angiosperms that attract a diverse range of pollinators represent a generalist pollination system in which selection is exerted by many different pollinators. However,...
