DESCRIPTION:Petal spots have evolved in a phylogenetically broad range of 
 species and function as a pollinator attractant. They develop through the 
 accumulation of pigment in the pavement cells of the petal epidermis and i
 n a small number of species\, including Gorteria diffusa\, also contain el
 aborated epidermal cell morphologies. Identifying the genes encoding the r
 egulators of petal spot morphology will allow us to formulate a model for 
 the pathway of petal spot development\, ultimately defining the molecular 
 events that have led to the evolution of this floral feature.
