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 …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is characteristic of almost all fundamental lineages of
land plants. Unfortunately, the timings of WGD events are loosely constrained and …

Coffea arabica, an allotetraploid hybrid of Coffea eugenioides and Coffea canephora, is the
source of approximately 60% of coffee products worldwide, and its cultivated accessions …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbioses contribute to global carbon cycles as plant hosts
divert up to 20% of photosynthate to the obligate biotrophic fungi. Previous studies …

Abstract Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) is the most economically valuable crop

Introduction Darwin famously characterized the rapid rise and early diversification of
flowering plants (angiosperms) in the fossil record as an “abominable mystery.” Identifying …

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 …
