B/c I'm obsessed with the maintenance of polymorphisms, the cross we used here is also polymorphic for leaf shape that I described last week.
This should allow ecological experiments looking at selection on leaf shape and anthocyanin loss in the same background.

Why are leaves the shape that they are? What controls intraspecific, genetic variation in leaf shape?
New from my lab, in collaboration with many others, led by PhD student Amanda Peake: mapping the leaf shape polymorphism in Ipomoea hederacea.
