Summary:
The Hawaiian silversword alliance is an outstanding example of plant adaptive radiation and serves as a key system for understanding the origin of plant morphological diversity. The objective of this study was to test whether the acceleration in protein evolution can be generalized to other regulatory genes in the Hawaiian silversword alliance. The results suggest that not all regulatory genes with relevant functions are involved. No evidence of accelerated evolution in the DaGAI coding region in the Hawaiian Madiinae was found.
