Differential expression of flavonoid biosynthetic pathway genes drives the production of transgressive pigments in <i>Nicotiana</i> section <i>Repandae</i> allotetraploids
Differential expression drives the production of transgressive delphinidin and transgressive flavonol levels in Nicotiana section Repandae allotetraploids, and there is no evidence for complementation nor gene resurrection. Transgressive delphinidin may provide an adaptive advantage to increase pollinator attraction in N. repanda and protect against UV radiation in N. nudicaulis.
