Ancient large-scale gene duplications and diversification in bryophytes illuminate the plant terrestrialization.

Abstract excerpt

Large-scale gene duplications (LSGDs) are crucial for evolutionary adaptation and recurrent in vascular plants. However, the role of ancient LSGDs in the terrestrialization and diversification of bryophytes, the second most species-rich group of land plants, remains largely elusive due to limited sampling in bryophytes. Employing the most extensive nuclear gene dataset in bryophytes to date, we reconstructed a...
