Studies on Transition 
 in - Diplacus - PLANTS
 






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


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


Snapdragon around Fornells, Spain, serves as our exercise field. More information will be available starting February 2026. We will provide a separate interpretation regarding the "hybrid-zone" once the pre-published articles of the "snapdragon group" are fully released. Until then, we have a more experienced interpretation to share. -->


"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. This might also be true similarly for the Antirrhinum striatum/pseudomajus complex. This process continues until a new "climax" is reached. The primary driver of "climax" alteration is global warming.
