Abstract excerpt
Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is widespread in plants, yet the extent to which it yields predictable phenotypic outcomes remains unclear. Here, we show that the phenotypic consequences of genome doubling in a duckweed model system, Spirodela polyrhiza, are highly repeatable and largely deterministic. We previously generated three independent colchicine-induced autotetraploids from each of nine globally...
