Abstract excerpt
The signature of allopolyploidy becomes increasingly blurred through time, hindering evaluation of its evolutionary role, and ancient hybridization remains difficult to detect even with large-scale genomic data. Understanding these processes is critical for reconstructing plant diversification at deep time scales. We focus on the enigmatic Carex subg. Uncinia (Cyperaceae), which shows unusual genomic and...
