Plant genome evolution shows both episodic and gradual diploidization patterns

Summary

Nutrition label

91% Informative

Polyploidy , or whole-genome duplication (WGD), is a major mechanism of genome evolution across the tree of life.

Many polyploid plants undergo diploidization, a process that helps overcome challenges and drives innovation in transcriptional, physiological and morphological traits.

Many so-called "diploid" plants are actually "paleopolyploids".
