Evolution of gene duplication in plants
Ancient duplication events and a high rate of retention of extant pairs of duplicate genes
have contributed to an abundance of duplicate genes in plant genomes. These duplicates …

Gene duplication as a major force in evolution
S Magadum, U Banerjee, P Murugan, D Gangapur… - Journal of genetics, 2013 - Springer
Gene duplication is an important mechanism for acquiring new genes and creating genetic
novelty in organisms. Many new gene functions have evolved through gene duplication 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 role of hybridization in plant speciation
The importance of hybridization in plant speciation and evolution has been debated for
decades, with opposing views of hybridization as either a creative evolutionary force or …

Bias in plant gene content following different sorts of duplication: tandem, whole-genome, segmental, or by transposition
M Freeling - Annual review of plant biology, 2009 - annualreviews.org
Each mode of gene duplication (tandem, tetraploid, segmental, transpositional) retains
genes in a biased manner. A reciprocal relationship exists between plant genes retained …

[HTML][HTML] LEA (Late Embryogenesis Abundant) proteins and their encoding genes in Arabidopsis thaliana
M Hundertmark, DK Hincha - BMC genomics, 2008 - Springer
Background LEA (late embryogenesis abundant) proteins have first been described about
25 years ago as accumulating late in plant seed development. They were later found in …

[HTML][HTML] 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 …

[HTML][HTML] Architecture and evolution of a minute plant genome
It has been argued that the evolution of plant genome size is principally unidirectional and
increasing owing to the varied action of whole-genome duplications (WGDs) and mobile …
