Evolution of plant genome architecture
We have witnessed an explosion in our understanding of the evolution and structure of plant
genomes in recent years. Here, we highlight three important emergent realizations:(1) that …

Polyploidy and genome evolution in plants
Plant genomes vary in size and complexity, fueled in part by processes of whole-genome
duplication (WGD; polyploidy) and subsequent genome evolution. Despite repeated …

A reference genome for pea provides insight into legume genome evolution
We report the first annotated chromosome-level reference genome assembly for pea, Gregor
Mendel's original genetic model. Phylogenetics and paleogenomics show genomic …

The butterfly plant arms-race escalated by gene and genome duplications
Coevolutionary interactions are thought to have spurred the evolution of key innovations and
driven the diversification of much of life on Earth. However, the genetic and evolutionary …

Ancestral polyploidy in seed plants and angiosperms
Abstract Whole-genome duplication (WGD), or polyploidy, followed by gene loss and
diploidization has long been recognized as an important evolutionary force in animals, fungi …

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) signalling in plants
The role of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a signal in animals has been documented for
over 60 years. In contrast, evidence that GABA is a signal in plants has only emerged in the …

The roles of segmental and tandem gene duplication in the evolution of large gene families in Arabidopsis thaliana
Abstract Background Most genes in Arabidopsis thaliana are members of gene families.
How do the members of gene families arise, and how are gene family copy numbers …
