Abstract excerpt
The allopolyploid speciation process faces the genomic challenge of stoichiometric disruption caused by merging biparental nuclear genomes with only one (usually maternal) of the two sets of progenitor cytoplasmic genomes. The photosynthetic protein 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is composed of nuclear-encoded small subunits (SSUs) and plastome-encoded large subunits (LSUs), making it an ideal...
