glucosyltransferases and hydrolyzed by specific glycosidases, some also catalyzing …

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 …

The 1,000 Plants (1KP) initiative was the first large-scale effort to collect next-generation

INTRODUCTION Whole-genome duplication (WGD) events are pervasive in eukaryotes,
shaping the genomes of simple single-celled organisms, such as yeast, as well as those of …

Angiosperms have become the dominant terrestrial plant group by diversifying for~ 145

throughout the world, providing plentiful nutrients and health-promoting substances. To …

Genes encoding interacting proteins tend to be co‐retained after whole‐genome duplication
(WGD). The preferential retention after WGD has been explained by the gene balance …

Cold stress profoundly affects plant growth and development and is a key factor affecting the
geographic distribution and evolution of plants. Plants have evolved adaptive mechanisms …

Interspecific hybridization substantially alters genotypes and phenotypes and can give rise
to new lineages. Hybrid isolates that differ from their parental species in infection-relevant …
