The ancient wave of polyploidization events in flowering plants and their facilitated adaptation to environmental stress
Flowering plants, or angiosperms, consist of more than 300,000 species, far more than any
other land plant lineages. The accumulated evidence indicates that multiple ancient …

Genetic contribution of paleopolyploidy to adaptive evolution in angiosperms
Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs or polyploidy) are prevalent in plants, and some
WGDs occurred during the timing of severe global environmental changes. It has been …

A genome triplication associated with early diversification of the core eudicots
Background Although it is agreed that a major polyploidy event, gamma, occurred within the
eudicots, the phylogenetic placement of the event remains unclear. Results To determine …
