Whole genome duplication (WGD) and tandem duplication (TD) are important modes of
gene amplification and functional innovation, and they are common in plant genome …

Whole genome duplication (WGD) and tandem duplication (TD) are both important modes of
gene expansion. However, how WGD influences tandemly duplicated genes is not well …

Tandem duplication is a wide-spread phenomenon in plant genomes and plays significant
roles in evolution and adaptation to changing environments. Tandem duplicated genes …

The importance of gene gain through duplication has long been appreciated. In contrast, the
importance of gene loss has only recently attracted attention. Indeed, studies in organisms …

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 …

Whole genome duplication (WGD) events have been proven to occur in the evolutionary
history of most angiosperms. Tomato is considered a model species of the Solanaceae …

Gene duplication is an important mechanism for acquiring new genes and creating genetic
novelty in organisms. Many new gene functions have evolved through gene duplication and …

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 …

The evolution of genes and genomes after polyploidization has been the subject of
extensive studies in evolutionary biology and plant sciences. While a significant number of …

The recurrent cycle of whole genome duplication (WGD) followed by massive duplicate
gene loss (fractionation) differentiates plant evolutionary history from that of most other …
