An approach to determining anthocyanin synthesis enzyme gene expression in an evolutionary context: an example from Erica plukenetii
Le Maitre, Nicholas C.; Pirie, Michael David; Bellstedt, Dirk U. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background and Aims: Floral colour in angiosperms can be controlled by variations in the expression of the genes of the anthocyanin pathway. Floral colour shifts influence pollinator specificity. Multiple shifts in floral ... -
Floral Color, Anthocyanin Synthesis Gene Expression and Control in Cape Erica Species
Le Maitre, Nicholas C.; Pirie, Michael David; Bellstedt, Dirk U. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction: The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) is a biodiversity hotspot, recognized globally for its unusually high levels of endemism. The origins of this biodiversity are a long-standing topic of research. The largest ... -
Leaps and bounds: geographical and ecological distance constrained the colonisation of the Afrotemperate by Erica
Pirie, Michael David; Kandziora, Martha; Nürk, Nicolai; Le Maitre, Nicholas C.; Mugrabi de Kuppler, Ana; Gehrke, Berit; Oliver, Edward G.H.; Bellstedt, Dirk U. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-05)Background The coincidence of long distance dispersal (LDD) and biome shift is assumed to be the result of a multifaceted interplay between geographical distance and ecological suitability of source and sink areas. Here, ...
