No two cells in a plant organism are completely identical at the genomic level (somatic mosaicism) due to the accumulation of non-random somatic mutations at a high rate within short tandem repeats (STRs) in intronic regions. -->

Misopates
We initially attempted to correlate short tandem repeats (STRs) with floral phenotypes. -->

Snapdragon around Fornells (Val de Ribes), Spain, serves as our exercise field.   --> 

Left: Color hues observed for the first time in 2026 in a population along Eix Pirinenc N260 just South of Dòrria.

The former hue was light yellow with minimal variation for all plants. We interpret this observation as a superposition effect in a population transitioning between rest areas III and IV.

"Diplacus: Our Initial Investigation" -->

In a so-called hybrid zone, the yellow deme can adapt to the new conditions. As a result, the red ecotype gradually expands its range, while the australis ecotype diminishes. One might apply the above statement to the Antirrhinum striatum-pseudomajus complex. This process continues until a new "climax" is reached. The primary driver of "climax" alteration is global warming.
