Abstract excerpt
The contribution of gene expression modulation to phenotypic evolution is of major importance to an understanding of the origin of divergent or convergent phenotypes during and following polyploid speciation. Here, we analyzed genome-wide gene expression in 2 subspecies of the allotetraploid species, Senecio mohavensis A. Gray, and its diploid parents S. flavus (Decne.) Sch. Bip. and S. glaucus L. The tetraploid...
