The paper benchmarks long-read RNA sequencing pipelines for de novo transcriptome assembly in non-model plants, finding organ-specific optimal strategies for flower and leaf tissues.

The paper analyzes floral pigment frequencies across three regions, finding UV-absorbing phenylpropanoids are widespread, while anthocyanins, carotenoids, and chlorophylls are less common, with frequencies influenced by environmental and pollinator factors.

The paper investigates shared blue-orange petal color polymorphisms in two closely related species, suggesting an ancestral polymorphism that may have transcended speciation.
