Abstract excerpt
Polyploidy, or genome doubling, is a common mechanism in the evolution of plants. This genome duplication can rapidly lead to genomic changes between ploidy levels. In particular, allopolyploids that result from interspecific hybridization can show a large number of changes in gene expression immediately after the polyploidy event. These are likely due to epigenetic changes that do not alter the underlying DNA...
