Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is characteristic of almost all fundamental lineages of
land plants. Unfortunately, the timings of WGD events are loosely constrained and …

Highlights•Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a ubiquitous feature of plant
genomes.•Polyploidy is most frequent in angiosperms.•A complex pattern of polyploidy is …

Green plants (Viridiplantae) include around 450,000–500,000 species, of great diversity and
have important roles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here, as part of the One …

Background Flowering plants (angiosperms) are dominant components of global terrestrial
ecosystems, but phylogenetic relationships at the familial level and above remain only …

The life cycle of genome builds spans interlocking pillars of assembly, annotation, and
comparative genomics to drive biological insights. While tools exist to address each pillar …

Abstract Whole-genome duplication (WGD), or polyploidy, events are widespread and
significant in the evolutionary history of angiosperms. However, empirical evidence for …

Fabaceae are the third largest angiosperm family, with 765 genera and∼ 19 500 species.
They are important both economically and ecologically, and global Fabaceae crops are …

Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable
resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa …

Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs or polyploidy) are prevalent in plants, and some
WGDs occurred during the timing of severe global environmental changes. It has been …

Fruits are the defining feature of angiosperms, likely have contributed to angiosperm
successes by protecting and dispersing seeds, and provide foods to humans and other …
