A new paper from our working group has just been published in New Phytologist journal. In this study we examine the role of phenotypic plasticity in the evolutionary processes of convergence and divergence, and we have done this by focusing on the Brassicaceae plant family. For this, in addition to the work we are developing with our Moricandia study system, we have added an enormous revision work on the characterization of floral traits and pollination systems in the Brassicaceae family. Our knowledge of this important plant family is now much better!
The title is “Phenotypic plasticity guides Moricandia arvensis divergence and convergence across the Brassicaceae floral morphospace“.
