Duplication is a prominent feature of plant genomic architecture. This has led many
researchers to speculate that gene duplication may have played an important role in the …

Gene duplication, arising from region-specific duplication or genome-wide polyploidization,
is a prominent feature in plant genome evolution. Understanding the mechanisms …

Given the prevalence of duplicate genes and genomes in plant species, the study of their
evolutionary dynamics has been a focus of study in plant evolutionary genetics over the past …

Highlights•Whole genome duplications are an important mode of plant evolution.•Plants
evolve developmental novelties by retention of duplicated control genes.•Genes controlling …

Gene duplication is an important mechanism for adding to genomic novelty. Hence, which
genes undergo duplication and are preserved following duplication is an important question …

Gene duplication is an important mechanism for acquiring new genes and creating genetic
novelty in organisms. Many new gene functions have evolved through gene duplication and …

Ancient duplication events and a high rate of retention of extant pairs of duplicate genes
have contributed to an abundance of duplicate genes in plant genomes. These duplicates …

Background Both single gene and whole genome duplications (WGD) have recurred in
angiosperm evolution. However, the evolutionary effects of different modes of gene …

Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable
resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa …

Polyploidy is a common mode of evolution in flowering plants. The profound effects of
polyploidy on gene expression appear to be caused more by hybridity than by genome …
