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 …

Ancestral polyploidy in seed plants and angiosperms
Abstract Whole-genome duplication (WGD), or polyploidy, followed by gene loss and
diploidization has long been recognized as an important evolutionary force in animals, fungi …

On the relative abundance of autopolyploids and allopolyploids
The prevalence of autopolyploids in angiosperms has long been a subject of debate.
Müntzing (1936) and Darlington (1937) concluded that autopolyploids were common and …

The Selaginella genome identifies genetic changes associated with the evolution of vascular plants
Vascular plants appeared~ 410 million years ago, then diverged into several lineages of
which only two survive: the euphyllophytes (ferns and seed plants) and the lycophytes. We …

Nested radiations and the pulse of angiosperm diversification: increased diversification rates often follow whole genome duplications
Our growing understanding of the plant tree of life provides a novel opportunity to uncover
the major drivers of angiosperm diversity. Using a time‐calibrated phylogeny, we …
