Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and epigenetic consequences of recent hybridization and polyploidy in Spartina (Poaceae)

TL;DR: Surprisingly, 30% of the parental methylation patterns are altered in the hybrids and the allopolyploid, and this high level of epigenetic regulation might explain the morphological plasticity of Spartina anglica and its larger ecological amplitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of transposable elements on the organization and function of allopolyploid genomes

TL;DR: Transposable elements (TEs) represent an important fraction of plant genomes and are likely to play a pivotal role in fuelling genome reorganization and functional changes following allopolyploidization, but available evidence indicates that TE proliferation in the short or the long term after allopolyPloidization may be restricted to a few TEs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization, polyploidy and speciation in Spartina (Poaceae)

TL;DR: How recent molecular approaches have helped the understanding of the past and recent reticulate history of species is examined, with special focus on allopolyploid speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization, polyploidy and invasion: lessons from Spartina (Poaceae)

TL;DR: Nuclear and chloroplast DNA data indicate a reticulate origin (alloheptaploid) of the invasive Spartina densiflora, and Transcriptomic changes suggest possible gene silencing in both hybrids and allopolyploid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid structural and epigenetic reorganization near transposable elements in hybrid and allopolyploid genomes in Spartina

TL;DR: Evidence of major structural and CpG methylation changes in the vicinity of TE insertions accompanying hybridization, and to a lesser extent, genome doubling is found, indicating that nuclear incompatibilities in Spartina trigger immediate alterations, which are TE-specific with an important epigenetic component.
