Journal ArticleDOI
Polyploidy and genome evolution in plants.
TL;DR: Evidence is now supported by evidence showing that genes that are retained in duplicate typically diversify in function or undergo subfunctionalization, with some duplicate genes more prone to retention than others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genes duplicated by polyploidy show unequal contributions to the transcriptome and organ-specific reciprocal silencing
TL;DR: Data suggest that some silencing events are epigenetically induced during the allopolyploidization process, suggesting rapid subfunctionalization in eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of mitochondrial gene content: gene loss and transfer to the nucleus.
Keith L. Adams,Jeffrey D. Palmer +1 more
TL;DR: All animals, some plants, and certain other groups of eukaryotes are mired in profound stases in mitochondrial gene content, whereas other lineages have experienced relatively frequent gene loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread horizontal transfer of mitochondrial genes in flowering plants
Ulfar Bergthorsson,Keith L. Adams,Keith L. Adams,Brendan Thomason,Brendan Thomason,Jeffrey D. Palmer +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that standard mitochondrial genes, encoding ribosomal and respiratory proteins, are subject to evolutionarily frequent horizontal transfer between distantly related flowering plants, implying the existence of mechanisms for the delivery of DNA between unrelated plants and indicating that horizontal transfer is also a force in plant nuclear genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel patterns of gene expression in polyploid plants
TL;DR: Three recent reports have provided intriguing new insights into the patterns, timing and mechanisms of gene expression changes that accompany polyploidy in plants.
