Standing genetic variation in a tissue-specific enhancer underlies selfing-syndrome evolution in Capsella [Plant Biology]

Mating system shifts recurrently drive specific changes in organ dimensions. The shift in mating system from out-breeding to selfing is one of the most frequent evolutionary transitions in flowering plants and is often associated with an organ-specific reduction in flower size. However, the evolutionary paths along which polygenic traits, such...
