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

F Cheng, J Wu, X Cai, J Liang, M Freeling, X Wang - Nature plants, 2018 - nature.com
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

K Du, M Stöck, S Kneitz, C Klopp… - Nature ecology & …, 2020 - nature.com
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

JB Landis, DE Soltis, Z Li, HE Marx… - American journal of …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
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

Z Li, MTW McKibben, GS Finch… - Annual review of …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
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

JF Wendel, SA Jackson, BC Meyers, RA Wing - Genome biology, 2016 - Springer
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

DE Soltis, CJ Visger, DB Marchant… - American journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
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 …
