Plants with double genomes might have had a better chance to survive the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event
JA Fawcett, S Maere… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Most flowering plants have been shown to be ancient polyploids that have undergone one
or more whole genome duplications early in their evolution. Furthermore, many different …

Analysis of 41 plant genomes supports a wave of successful genome duplications in association with the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary
Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs), also referred to as paleopolyploidizations,
have been reported in most evolutionary lineages. Their attributed role remains a major …

Widespread genome duplications throughout the history of flowering plants
Genomic comparisons provide evidence for ancient genome-wide duplications in a diverse
array of animals and plants. We developed a birth–death model to identify evidence for …

Revisiting ancestral polyploidy in plants
Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) or polyploidy events have been studied extensively in
plants. In a now widely cited paper, Jiao et al. presented evidence for two ancient, ancestral …

The flowering world: a tale of duplications
Flowering plants contain many genes, most of which were created during the past 200 or so
million years through small-and large-scale duplications. Paleo-polyploidy events, in …

Multiple paleopolyploidizations during the evolution of the Compositae reveal parallel patterns of duplicate gene retention after millions of years
Of the approximately 250,000 species of flowering plants, nearly one in ten are members of
the Compositae (Asteraceae), a diverse family found in almost every habitat on all …

A recent polyploidy superimposed on older large-scale duplications in the Arabidopsis genome
The Arabidopsis genome contains numerous large duplicated chromosomal segments, but
the different approaches used in previous analyses led to different interpretations regarding …

Constraining the timing of whole genome duplication in plant evolutionary history
JW Clark, PCJ Donoghue - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Whole genome duplication (WGD) has occurred in many lineages within the tree of life and
is invariably invoked as causal to evolutionary innovation, increased diversity, and extinction …

Rarely successful polyploids and their legacy in plant genomes
Polyploidy, or whole genome duplication, is recognized as an important feature of eukaryotic
genome evolution. Among eukaryotes, polyploidy has probably had the largest evolutionary …
