We review the empirical phylogenetic literature on plant diversification, highlighting
challenges in separating the effects of speciation and extinction, in specifying diversification …

Polyploidy, the possession of more than 2 complete genomes, is a major force in plant
evolution known to affect the genetic and genomic constitution and the phenotype of an …

Investigators have long searched for a polyploidy paradigm—rules or principles that might
be common following polyploidization (whole‐genome duplication, WGD). Here we attempt …

Polyploidy has long been considered a major force in plant evolution. G. Ledyard Stebbins,
Jr., an architect of the Modern Synthesis, elegantly addressed a broad range of topics, from …

Biodiversity results from multiple evolutionary mechanisms, including genetic variation and
natural selection. Whole-genome duplications (WGDs), or polyploidizations, provide …

Alternative splicing (AS) is a major source of transcript and proteome diversity, but
examining AS in species without well‐annotated reference genomes remains difficult …

The last decade highlighted polyploidy as a rampant evolutionary process that triggers
drastic genome reorganization, but much remains to be understood about their causes and …

Allopolyploidisation merges evolutionarily distinct parental genomes (subgenomes) into a
single nucleus. A frequent observation is that one subgenome is 'dominant'over the other …

Whole-genome duplication has been recognized as a major process in speciation of land
plants, especially in ferns. Whereas genome downsizing contributes greatly to the post …

Hybridization and polyploidization are prominent processes in plant evolution. Hybrids and
allopolyploids typically exhibit radically altered gene expression patterns relative to their …
