Evolution, Development, and BSA Genetics of Floral Display - Form, Size, and Arrangement Xiang, Qiu-Yun (Jenny) [1], Zhang, Wenheng [2]. Evolution, Development, and Genetics of Floral Display - Form, Size, and Arrangement. Floral display is essential to the success of angiosperm reproduction. Alteration in floral display strategies (here referred to variation in form, size, and arrangement) often result in evolutionary innovation leading to new ecological adaptation and speciation. Despite its importance to angiosperm diversification, our knowledge on the evolutionary patterns and the underlying developmental and genetic bases of floral display is very limited. Through an integrative approach combining phylogenetics, developmental biology, and molecular genetics, recent studies have started to shed lights on the genetic bases of floral display evolution in various angiosperm lineages. It is timing to bring researchers in this area to the BSA conference to share ideas, tools, and findings that may stimulate more interest and studies to advance our knowledge on the topic.
We therefor, propose a Symposium on the topic at the BSA 2016 that will be scheduled as follow: Brief introduction (5 min, Jenny Xiang), Three Speakers (30 min x 3 = 1.5 hr) Coffee Break (30 min) Three Speakers (30 min x 3 = 1.5) Discussion and Summary (15 min).
