Transposable elements (TEs) represent an important fraction of plant genomes and are
likely to play a pivotal role in fuelling genome reorganization and functional changes …

Autopolyploidy is more common in plants than traditionally assumed, but has received little
attention compared with allopolyploidy. Hence, the advantages and disadvantages of …

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 …

Structural variation is a major source of genetic diversity and an important substrate for
selection. In allopolyploids, homoeologous exchanges (ie between the constituent …

Allopolyploidy is a prevalent process in plants, having important physiological, ecological
and evolutionary consequences. Transcriptomic responses to genomic merger and doubling …

Polyploidy is now recognized as a characteristic feature of all angiosperm genomes (Jiao et
al., 2011), and remains an important speciation process today (Wendel, 2000; Comai, 2005; …

Genomic evidence of ancestral whole genome duplication (WGD) and polyploidy is
widespread among eukaryotic species, and especially among plants. WGD is thought to …

Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution and speciation. In newly formed allopolyploids,
pairing between related chromosomes from different subgenomes (homoeologous …

The role played by whole‐genome duplication (WGD) in evolution and adaptation is
particularly well illustrated in allopolyploids, where WGD is concomitant with interspecific …

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