Understanding a Flower Colour Hybrid Zone from a Polygenic Perspective - Lecture 4

Explore the complexities of flower color hybrid zones from a polygenic perspective in this lecture by Nick Barton. Delve into the genetic architecture underlying phenotypic variation in flower color, examining how multiple genetic variants contribute to this trait. Investigate the dynamics of hybrid zones where different flower color populations meet and interbreed. Learn about the theoretical frameworks and empirical approaches used to study polygenic adaptation in the context of flower color variation. Gain insights into how this research contributes to our understanding of evolutionary processes and the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity in plants.
