In this paper, we examine how the Spartina system has helped our understanding of the
genomic aspects of allopolyploid speciation in the context of biological invasion. More …

Spartina× townsendii arose during the end of the 19th century in England by hybridization
between the indigenous Spartina maritima and the introduced Spartina alterniflora, native to …

To study the consequences of hybridization and genome duplication on polyploid genome
evolution and adaptation, we used independently formed hybrids (Spartina× townsendii and …

Polyploidy and recurrent interspecific hybridization represent major features of Spartina
evolution, resulting in several superimposed divergent genomes that coexist in the currently …

Spartina anglica is a classical example of recent alloploid speciation. It arose during the end
of the nineteenth century in England by hybridization between the indigenous Spartina …

The aim of this study was to explore the origin of the invasive Spartina densiflora by
analysing samples from the native region (South America) and from a recently colonized …

Transposable elements (TE) induce structural and epigenetic alterations in their host
genome, with major evolutionary implications. These alterations are examined here in the …

Interspecific hybridization events have been reported in the genus Spartina
Schreb.(Poaceae), involving the east American species Spartina alterniflora, and including …

Hybridization and polyploidy are well illustrated in the genus Spartina. This paper examines
how recent molecular approaches have helped our understanding of the past and recent …

Spartina anglica arose during the end of the 19th century in England by hybridization
between the indigenous Spartina maritima and the introduced East American Spartina …
