Muscari commutatum genome sequences reveal genetic basis of flower pigmentation
Flower colour is an important component of floral signaling, yet the genetic basis of naturally occurring colour variation remains poorly understood in many non-model plant groups. Here, we compare genome sequences of a normally pigmented and a largely unpigmented individual of Muscari commutatum, a species typically characterized by very dark violet flowers. Both assemblies were approximately…
