Transcriptome and proteome data reveal candidate genes for pollinator attraction in sexually deceptive orchids.

<h4>Background</h4>Sexually deceptive orchids of the genus Ophrys mimic the mating signals of their pollinator females to attract males as pollinators. This mode of pollination is highly specific and leads to strong reproductive isolation between species. This study aims to identify cand...
