Transposable elements (TEs) represent an important fraction of plant genomes and are
likely to play a pivotal role in fuelling genome reorganization and functional changes …

Gene duplication, arising from region-specific duplication or genome-wide polyploidization,
is a prominent feature in plant genome evolution. Understanding the mechanisms …

Genome duplication is widespread in wild and crop plants. However, little is known about
genome-wide selection in polyploids due to the complexity of duplicated genomes. In …

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 …

Given the prevalence of duplicate genes and genomes in plant species, the study of their
evolutionary dynamics has been a focus of study in plant evolutionary genetics over the past …

Polyploidy is produced by multiplication of a single genome (autopolyploid) or combination
of two or more divergent genomes (allopolyploid). The available data obtained from the …

The importance of hybridization in plant speciation and evolution has been debated for
decades, with opposing views of hybridization as either a creative evolutionary force or …

Highlights•Structural variants are the major components of dispensable genome.•Structural
variants might have important functional consequences.•Next generation sequencing is a …

• Premise of the study: Hybridization and polyploidization (allopolyploidy) are ubiquitous in
the evolution of plants, but tracing the origins and subsequent evolution of the constituent …

Crop genomics has seen dramatic advances in recent years due to improvements in
sequencing technology, assembly methods, and computational resources. These advances …
