Background Most, if not all, green plant (Virdiplantae) species including angiosperms and
ferns are polyploids themselves or have ancient polyploid or whole genome duplication …

Allopolyploids result from hybridization between different evolutionary lineages coupled with
genome doubling. Homoeologous chromosomes (chromosomes with common shared …

The large size and complexity of most fern genomes have hampered efforts to elucidate
fundamental aspects of fern biology and land plant evolution through genome-enabled …

Homosporous lycophytes (Lycopodiaceae) are a deeply diverged lineage in the plant tree of
life, having split from heterosporous lycophytes (Selaginella and Isoetes)~ 400 Mya …

Whole genome duplication (WGD) is a dramatic evolutionary event generating many new
genes and which may play a role in survival through mass extinctions. Paddlefish and …

Abstract Whole-genome duplication (WGD), or polyploidy, events are widespread and
significant in the evolutionary history of angiosperms. However, empirical evidence for …

Covering: up to 2022 Plants produce a wide range of structurally and biosynthetically
diverse natural products to interact with their environment. These specialised metabolites …

Polyploids, which arise from whole-genome duplication events, have contributed to genome
evolution throughout eukaryotes. Among plants, novel features of neopolyploids include …

The long-term evolutionary impacts of whole-genome duplication (WGD) are strongly
influenced by the ensuing rediploidization process. Following autopolyploidization …

Epigenetic modifications play important roles in genome evolution and innovation. However,
most analyses have focused on the evolutionary role of DNA modifications, and little is …
