Genomic and epigenetic insights into the molecular bases of heterosis
ZJ Chen - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2013 - nature.com
Heterosis, also known as hybrid vigour, is widespread in plants and animals, but the
molecular bases for this phenomenon remain elusive. Recent studies in hybrids and …

Doubling down on genomes: polyploidy and crop plants
S Renny‐Byfield, JF Wendel - American journal of botany, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Polyploidy, or whole genome multiplication, is ubiquitous among angiosperms. Many crop
species are relatively recent allopolyploids, resulting from interspecific hybridization and …

The multiple fates of gene duplications: deletion, hypofunctionalization, subfunctionalization, neofunctionalization, dosage balance constraints, and neutral variation
JA Birchler, H Yang - The Plant Cell, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Gene duplications have long been recognized as a contributor to the evolution of genes with
new functions. Multiple copies of genes can result from tandem duplication, from …

Polyploidy and its effect on evolutionary success: old questions revisited with new tools
A Madlung - Heredity, 2013 - nature.com
Polyploidy, the condition of possessing more than two complete genomes in a cell, has
intrigued biologists for almost a century. Polyploidy is found in many plants and some animal …

The long and short of doubling down: polyploidy, epigenetics, and the temporal dynamics of genome fractionation
We consider the rapidly advancing discipline of plant evolutionary genomics, with a focus on
the evolution of polyploid genomes. In many lineages, polyploidy is followed by 'biased …
