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

Genome duplication (GD) has permanently shaped the architecture and function of many
higher eukaryotic genomes. The angiosperms (flowering plants) are outstanding models in …

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 …

Background Both single gene and whole genome duplications (WGD) have recurred in
angiosperm evolution. However, the evolutionary effects of different modes of gene …

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 …

Comparative analysis of multiple angiosperm genomes has implicated gene duplication in
the expansion and diversification of many gene families. However, empirical data and theory …

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

Gene duplication is an important mechanism for adding to genomic novelty. Hence, which
genes undergo duplication and are preserved following duplication is an important question …

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

Gene duplication, arising from region-specific duplication or genome-wide polyploidization,
is a prominent feature in plant genome evolution. Understanding the mechanisms …
