Background The growing wealth of knowledge on whole-plant genome sequences is
highlighting the key role of transposable elements (TEs) in plant evolution, as a driver of …

It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in
plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation …

Coffea arabica, an allotetraploid hybrid of Coffea eugenioides and Coffea canephora, is the
source of approximately 60% of coffee products worldwide, and its cultivated accessions …

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

LTR retrotransposons are the most abundant group of transposable elements (TEs) in
plants. These elements can fall inside or close to genes, and therefore influence their …

Polyploidization is frequently associated with increased transposable element (TE) content.
However, what drives TE dynamics following whole genome duplication (WGD) and the …

Background Allopolyploids require rapid genetic and epigenetic modifications to reconcile
two or more sets of divergent genomes. To better understand the fate of duplicate genes …

Simple Summary Transposable elements are dynamic components of plant genomes, and
display a high diversity of lineages and distribution as the result of evolutionary driving …

The past decades have revealed an unexpected yet prominent role of so-called 'junk DNA'in
the regulation of gene expression, thereby challenging our view of the mechanisms …

Hybridization and polyploidy have been considered as significant evolutionary forces in
adaptation and speciation, especially among plants. Interspecific gene flow generates novel …
