Advances in the study of polyploidy since Plant speciation
Enormous strides have been made in the study of polyploidy over the last 20 yr. Here, we
highlight some of these discoveries and note where our understanding of polyploid …

Polyploidy and angiosperm diversification
Polyploidy has long been recognized as a major force in angiosperm evolution. Recent
genomic investigations not only indicate that polyploidy is ubiquitous among angiosperms …

Chromosome triplication found across the tribe Brassiceae
We have used an∼ 8.7-Mb BAC contig of Arabidopsis thaliana Chromosome 4 to trace
homeologous chromosome regions in 21 species of the family Brassicaceae. Homeologs of …

The ABC's of comparative genomics in the Brassicaceae: building blocks of crucifer genomes
In this review we summarize recent advances in our understanding of phylogenetics,
polyploidization and comparative genomics in the family Brassicaceae. These findings pave …

Segmental Structure of the Brassica napus Genome Based on Comparative Analysis With Arabidopsis thaliana
Over 1000 genetically linked RFLP loci in Brassica napus were mapped to homologous
positions in the Arabidopsis genome on the basis of sequence similarity. Blocks of …

Gene and genome duplications: the impact of dosage-sensitivity on the fate of nuclear genes
Whole genome duplications (WGDs) followed by diploidization, which includes gene loss,
have been an important recurrent process in the evolution of higher eukaryotes. Gene …

Comparative Genomics of Brassica oleracea and Arabidopsis thaliana Reveal Gene Loss, Fragmentation, and Dispersal after Polyploidy
We sequenced 2.2 Mb representing triplicated genome segments of Brassica oleracea,
which are each paralogous with one another and homologous with a segmentally …

Identification of shared single copy nuclear genes in Arabidopsis, Populus, Vitis and Oryzaand their phylogenetic utility across various taxonomic levels
Background Although the overwhelming majority of genes found in angiosperms are
members of gene families, and both gene-and genome-duplication are pervasive forces in …

Increasing the flow of carbon into seed oil
RJ Weselake, DC Taylor, MH Rahman, S Shah… - Biotechnology …, 2009 - Elsevier
The demand for vegetable oils for food, fuel (bio-diesel) and bio-product applications is
increasing rapidly. In Canada alone, it is estimated that a 50 to 75% increase in canola oil …
