Balancing selection on an MYB transcription factor maintains the twig trichome color variation in Melastoma normale

Balancing selection on an MYB transcription factor maintains the twig trichome color variation in Melastoma normale

Abstract Background The factors that maintain phenotypic and genetic variation within a population have received long-term attention in evolutionary biology. Here the genetic basis and evolution of the geographically widespread variation in twig trichome color (from red to white) in a shrub Melastom...
