[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 …

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

The fate of duplicated genes in a polyploid plant genome
Polyploidy is generally not tolerated in animals, but is widespread in plant genomes and
may result in extensive genetic redundancy. The fate of duplicated genes is poorly …

Hybridization and hybrid speciation under global change
M Vallejo‐Marín, SJ Hiscock - New Phytologist, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
An unintended consequence of global change is an increase in opportunities for
hybridization among previously isolated lineages. Here we illustrate how global change can …

Transposable elements as agents of rapid adaptation may explain the genetic paradox of invasive species
Rapid adaptation of invasive species to novel habitats has puzzled evolutionary biologists
for decades, especially as this often occurs in the face of limited genetic variability. Although …

[HTML][HTML] Small ocean temperature increases elicit stage-dependent changes in DNA methylation and gene expression in a fish, the European sea bass
In natural fish populations, temperature increases can result in shifts in important phenotypic
traits. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism mediating phenotypic changes …

Autopolyploidy differentially influences body size in plants, but facilitates enhanced accumulation of secondary metabolites, causing increased cytosine methylation
UC Lavania, S Srivastava, S Lavania, S Basu… - The Plant …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Whole genome duplication leads to autopolyploidy and brings about an increase in cell size,
concentration of secondary metabolites and enhanced cytosine methylation. The increased …
