Polyploidization is important to the evolution of plants. Subgenome dominance is a distinct
phenomenon associated with most allopolyploids. A gene on the dominant subgenome …

Subgenome dominance is an important phenomenon observed in allopolyploids after whole
genome duplication, in which one subgenome retains more genes as well as contributes …

Highlights• A single subgenome in allopolyploids may contribute to the majority of the
phenotype.• Methylation of transposons near genes is associated with subgenome …

Background Allopolyploids require rapid genetic and epigenetic modifications to reconcile
two or more sets of divergent genomes. To better understand the fate of duplicate genes …

Allopolyploidisation merges evolutionarily distinct parental genomes (subgenomes) into a
single nucleus. A frequent observation is that one subgenome is 'dominant'over the other …

The classical example of nonadditive contributions of the two parents to allopolyploids is
nucleolar dominance, which entails silencing of one parental set of ribosomal RNA genes …

The role played by whole‐genome duplication (WGD) in evolution and adaptation is
particularly well illustrated in allopolyploids, where WGD is concomitant with interspecific …

Polyploidy is popular for the speciation of angiosperms but the initial stage of
allopolyploidization resulting from interspecific hybridization and genome duplication is …

Background Brassica oleracea is a valuable vegetable species that has contributed to
human health and nutrition for hundreds of years and comprises multiple distinct cultivar …

Allopolyploid formation requires the adaptation of two nuclear genomes within a single
cytoplasm, which may involve programmed genetic and epigenetic changes during the …
