The strength and genetic basis of reproductive isolating barriers in flowering plants
David B. Lowry,Jennifer L. Modliszewski,Kevin M. Wright,Carrie A. Wu,John H. Willis,John H. Willis +5 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis involving 19 pairs of plant taxa and reviewed contemporary knowledge of the genetic architecture of reproductive isolation and the relative role of chromosomal and genic factors in intrinsic postzygotic isolation found that prezyGotic isolation is approximately twice as strong as postzealous isolation, and that postmating barriers are approximately three times more asymmetrical in their action than premating barriers.
Mimulus is an emerging model system for the integration of ecological and genomic studies.
TL;DR: Some of the phenotypic and genetic diversity in the genus Mimulus are introduced and how direct genetic studies with Mimulus can address a wide spectrum of ecological and evolutionary questions are highlighted.
Cytoplasmic and nuclear markers reveal contrasting patterns of spatial genetic structure in a natural Ipomopsis hybrid zone
TL;DR: It is indicated that cytoplasmic gene flow is bidirectional, but contrary to expectation, most plants in the hybrid zone have I. tenuituba cy toplasm, and nuclear data show a much more gradual cline than cpDNA markers that is consistent with morphological patterns across the hybrid populations.

Comparative linkage maps suggest that fission, not polyploidy, underlies near-doubling of chromosome number within monkeyflowers (Mimulus; Phrymaceae).
TL;DR: In this paper, comparative linkage mapping with gene-based markers was used to reconstruct chromosomal synteny within the model flowering plant genus Mimulus (monkeyflowers), showing strong segmental synteny between M. lewisii and M. guttatus.

TL;DR: In this hybrid zone, cytoplasmic effects and genotype-by-environment interactions appear more important in lowering hybrid fitness than do intrinsic genomic incompatibilities between nuclear genes.
