Polyploidy: pitfalls and paths to a paradigm
Investigators have long searched for a polyploidy paradigm—rules or principles that might
be common following polyploidization (whole‐genome duplication, WGD). Here we attempt …

Endosperm-based hybridization barriers explain the pattern of gene flow between Arabidopsis lyrata and Arabidopsis arenosa in Central Europe
C Lafon-Placette, IM Johannessen… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Based on the biological species concept, two species are considered distinct if reproductive
barriers prevent gene flow between them. In Central Europe, the diploid species Arabidopsis …

Adaptive introgression: how polyploidy reshapes gene flow landscapes
R Schmickl, L Yant - New Phytologist, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Rare yet accumulating evidence in both plants and animals shows that whole genome
duplication (WGD, leading to polyploidy) can break down reproductive barriers, facilitating …
