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 …

How much do we know about the frequency of hybridisation and polyploidy in the Mediterranean region?
Natural hybridisation and polyploidy are currently recognised as drivers of biodiversity,
despite early scepticism about their importance. The Mediterranean region is a biodiversity …

Functional trait divergence and trait plasticity confer polyploid advantage in heterogeneous environments
Polyploidy, or whole‐genome duplication often with hybridization, is common in eukaryotes
and is thought to drive ecological and evolutionary success, especially in plants. The …

Molecular evidence for adaptive evolution of drought tolerance in wild cereals
The considerable drought tolerance of wild cereal crop progenitors has diminished during
domestication in the pursuit of higher productivity. Regaining this trait in cereal crops is …

Comparative plastome genomics and phylogenomics of Brachypodium: flowering time signatures, introgression and recombination in recently diverged ecotypes
R Sancho, CP Cantalapiedra… - New …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Few pan‐genomic studies have been conducted in plants, and none of them have focused
on the intraspecific diversity and evolution of their plastid genomes. We address this issue in …
