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 …

The Physcomitrella patens chromosome‐scale assembly reveals moss genome structure and evolution
The draft genome of the moss model, Physcomitrella patens, comprised approximately 2000
unordered scaffolds. In order to enable analyses of genome structure and evolution we …

[HTML][HTML] Genomic insights into the Ixodes scapularis tick vector of Lyme disease
Ticks transmit more pathogens to humans and animals than any other arthropod. We
describe the 2.1 Gbp nuclear genome of the tick, Ixodes scapularis (Say), which vectors …

The Selaginella genome identifies genetic changes associated with the evolution of vascular plants
Vascular plants appeared~ 410 million years ago, then diverged into several lineages of
which only two survive: the euphyllophytes (ferns and seed plants) and the lycophytes. We …

[HTML][HTML] 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 evolutionary significance of ancient genome duplications
Many organisms are currently polyploid, or have a polyploid ancestry and now have
secondarily'diploidized'genomes. This finding is surprising because retained whole-genome …

Polyploidy and angiosperm diversification
Polyploidy has long been recognized as a major force in angiosperm evolution. Recent
genomic investigations not only indicate that polyploidy is ubiquitous among angiosperms …
