It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in
plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation …

Polyploidy is a key mechanism of genome evolution and speciation, particularly in plants.
Many aspects of polyploidy have been elucidated with the tools that have become available …

Due to the endosymbiotic origin of organelles, a pattern of coevolution and coadaptation
between organellar and nuclear genomes is required for proper cell function. In this review …

The species tree paradigm that dominates current molecular systematic practice infers
species trees from collections of sequences under assumptions of the multispecies …

Mitochondrial and plastid functions depend on coordinated expression of proteins encoded
by genomic compartments that have radical differences in copy number of organellar and …

Polyploidization and transposon elements contribute to shape plant genome diversity and
secondary metabolic variation in some edible crops. However, the specific contribution of …

Allopolyploidy is an important process in plant speciation, yet newly formed allopolyploid
species typically suffer from extreme genetic bottlenecks. One escape from this impasse …

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

Acacia (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade) is the largest and most
widespread genus of plants in the Australian flora, occupying and dominating a diverse …

The plant genome is partitioned across three distinct subcellular compartments: the nucleus,
mitochondria, and plastids. Successful coordination of gene expression among these …
