By Maegan Diep, Class of 2029 Figure 1.  An image of petunia flowers. A flower’s color is more than what meets the eye. When considering how this variable trait comes into play with the very pigments that give rise to it, little mathematical models exist that explore the theoretically possible colors and its phenotypic limitations. A recent study published in the American Journal of Botany … Continue reading Theoretical Modeling of Flower Colors via an Anthocyanin Approach
