The genetics of flower power: Hidden link between genes and flower formation revealed

A team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently announced that they have discovered the genetic linkages governing the formation of flowers. The revelation solves a long-standing mystery—how are there so many different types of flowers in the world?—and shines a bright light into a dark corner of evolution. The research also demonstrates the power of a technique called "forward genetics" in uncovering the mysteries of nature.
