Evolution by gene loss
R Albalat, C Cañestro - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2016 - nature.com
The recent increase in genomic data is revealing an unexpected perspective of gene loss as
a pervasive source of genetic variation that can cause adaptive phenotypic diversity. This …

Gene retention, fractionation and subgenome differences in polyploid plants
All natural plant species are evolved from ancient polyploids. Polyloidization plays an
important role in plant genome evolution, species divergence and crop domestication. We …

The multiple fates of gene duplications: deletion, hypofunctionalization, subfunctionalization, neofunctionalization, dosage balance constraints, and neutral variation
JA Birchler, H Yang - The Plant Cell, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Gene duplications have long been recognized as a contributor to the evolution of genes with
new functions. Multiple copies of genes can result from tandem duplication, from …

The sterlet sturgeon genome sequence and the mechanisms of segmental rediploidization
Sturgeons seem to be frozen in time. The archaic characteristics of this ancient fish lineage
place it in a key phylogenetic position at the base of the~ 30,000 modern teleost fish …

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

Patterns and processes of diploidization in land plants
Most land plants are now known to be ancient polyploids that have rediploidized.
Diploidization involves many changes in genome organization that ultimately restore …

Evolution of plant genome architecture
We have witnessed an explosion in our understanding of the evolution and structure of plant
genomes in recent years. Here, we highlight three important emergent realizations:(1) that …

The wondrous cycles of polyploidy in plants.
JF Wendel - American journal of botany, 2015 - search.ebscohost.com
An essay on how modern flowering plant genomes are derived from processes of repeated,
episodic whole-genome doubling, or polyploidy, is presented. Topics discussed include …

Polyploidy: pitfalls and paths to a paradigm
Investigators have long searched for a polyploidy paradigm—rules or principles that might
be common following polyploidization (whole‐genome duplication, WGD). Here we attempt …

Genomics of evolutionary novelty in hybrids and polyploids
G Nieto Feliner, J Casacuberta, JF Wendel - Frontiers in genetics, 2020 - frontiersin.org
It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in
plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation …
