Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Polyploids are often hypothesized to have increased phenotypic plasticity compared with their diploid progenitors, but recent work suggests that the relationship between whole-genome duplication (WGD) and plasticity is not so straightforward. Impacts of WGD on plasticity are moderated by other evolutionary processes in nature, which has impeded generalizations regarding the effects of WGD...
