Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic units able to move within the genome of virtually
all organisms. Due to their natural repetitive numbers and their high structural diversity, the …

Gene expression dynamics is a key component of polyploid evolution, varying in nature,
intensity, and temporal scales, most particularly in allopolyploids, where two or more sub …

Premise of research. Studies of complete plastomes have proven informative for our
understanding of the molecular evolution and phylogenomics of grasses, but subfamily …

Fungal communities associated with early stages of decomposition of Spartina maritima
(Curtis) Fernald were assessed in two geographically distinct salt marshes in Portugal by …

Abstract Key Message Differential expression of mi-RNAs targeting developmental
processes and progressive downregulation of repeat-associated siRNAs following genome …

Whole genome duplication (polyploidy) represents a primary mechanism of sympatric
speciation, especially in plants where it is particularly prevalent. In this chapter, we focus on …

Intercontinental introductions are widespread in the genus Spartina, with important
ecological and evolutionary consequences. The native or introduced status of Spartina …

Repeated sequences and polyploidy play a central role in plant genome dynamics. Here,
we analyze the evolutionary dynamics of repeats in tetraploid and hexaploid Spartina …

Abstract Background Sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., is an important food crop
widely grown in the world. However, little is known about the genome of this species …

Next-generation sequencing and the challenge of deciphering evolution of recent and highly
polyploid genomes Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Discover About …
