Abstract

How the snapdragon chooses its color In some snapdragons, a yellow spot in a field of magenta shows the bee the best place to go. Flowers of a related subspecies are mainly yellow with magenta veins marking the target. Bradley et al. analyzed a locus that regulates the pattern of color. The locus contains an inverted gene duplication that encodes small RNAs that repress pigment biosynthesis. Analysis of flowers derived from a region of the Pyrenees where the subspecies coexist indicates that natural selection is operating upon the locus. Science , this issue p. 925
