Plant genomes vary in size and complexity, fueled in part by processes of whole-genome
duplication (WGD; polyploidy) and subsequent genome evolution. Despite repeated …

Premise of the Study Polyploidy or whole‐genome duplication (WGD) pervades the
evolutionary history of angiosperms. Despite extensive progress in our understanding of …

Polyploidy has long been recognized as a major force in angiosperm evolution. Recent
genomic investigations not only indicate that polyploidy is ubiquitous among angiosperms …

Polyploidy (whole-genome duplication; WGD) is common in plants and has long been
considered as both an important speciation mechanism and a crucial component of plant …

Gene duplications provide evolutionary potentials for generating novel functions, while
polyploidization or whole genome duplication (WGD) doubles the chromosomes initially and …

Inferring the intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of species diversification and phenotypic disparity
across the tree of life is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. In green plants, polyploidy …

Despite intensive research, little is known about the origin of the angiosperms and their rise
to ecological dominance during the Early Cretaceous. Based on whole-genome analyses of …

Polyploidy is a common mode of speciation and evolution in angiosperms (flowering plants).
In contrast, there is little evidence to date that whole genome duplication (WGD) has played …

Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs or polyploidy) are prevalent in plants, and some
WGDs occurred during the timing of severe global environmental changes. It has been …
