For agriculture, the climate crisis will center on the key resource of fresh water.
Understanding of halophytic adaptations for productivity without fresh water will open …

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 …

Background Polyploid hybrids represent a rich natural resource to study molecular evolution
of plant genes and genomes. Here, we applied a combination of karyological and molecular …

Abstract Background and Aims Changes in the amount of repetitive DNA (dispersed and
tandem repeats) are considered the main contributors to genome size variation across plant …

We model the post-hexaploidy evolution of four genomes from the Solanaceae, a group of
flowering plants comprising tomatoes, potatoes and their relatives. The hexaploidy that …

Gymnosperms represent an ancient lineage that diverged from early spermatophytes during
the Devonian. The long fossil records and low diversity in living species prove their complex …

Polyploidy has played an important role in the Spartina system. However, the genomic
changes following polyploidy evolution are complex and poorly understood, especially in …

Climate change can induce temporary, spatial or behavioral changes in species, so that only
some species can adapt to the new climatic conditions. In the case of invasive species, it is …

Repetitive DNA has an important role in angiosperm genomes and is relevant to our
understanding of genome size variation, polyploidisation and genome dynamics more …

Polyploidization plays a key role in plant evolution, but the forces driving the fate of
homoeologs in polyploid genomes, ie, paralogs resulting from a whole-genome duplication …
