Polyploidy and interspecific hybridization: partners for adaptation, speciation and evolution in plants
Background Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication is now recognized as being present in
almost all lineages of higher plants, with multiple rounds of polyploidy occurring in most …

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

Polyploidy, the nucleotype, and novelty: the impact of genome doubling on the biology of the cell
Polyploidy is a key mechanism of genome evolution and speciation, particularly in plants.
Many aspects of polyploidy have been elucidated with the tools that have become available …

On the relative abundance of autopolyploids and allopolyploids
The prevalence of autopolyploids in angiosperms has long been a subject of debate.
Müntzing (1936) and Darlington (1937) concluded that autopolyploids were common and …

Nested radiations and the pulse of angiosperm diversification: increased diversification rates often follow whole genome duplications
Our growing understanding of the plant tree of life provides a novel opportunity to uncover
the major drivers of angiosperm diversity. Using a time‐calibrated phylogeny, we …

Genomics of evolutionary novelty in hybrids and polyploids
It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in
plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation …

[HTML][HTML] Plant speciation through chromosome instability and ploidy change: cellular mechanisms, molecular factors and evolutionary relevance
N De Storme, A Mason - Current Plant Biology, 2014 - Elsevier
Plant speciation and diversification strongly rely on structural changes in the nuclear
genome, both at the whole ploidy and individual chromosome level. Phylogenetic …

Allopolyploidy, diversification, and the Miocene grassland expansion
The role of polyploidy, particularly allopolyploidy, in plant diversification is a subject of
debate. Whole-genome duplications precede the origins of many major clades (eg …

Comparative regulomics supports pervasive selection on gene dosage following whole genome duplication
Background Whole genome duplication (WGD) events have played a major role in
eukaryotic genome evolution, but the consequence of these extreme events in adaptive …

Genomics of plant speciation
Studies of plants have been instrumental for revealing how new species originate. For
several decades, botanical research has complemented and, in some cases, challenged …
