Abstract excerpt
Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a major driver of plant speciation and often hypothesized to promote rapid adaptation to new or changing environmental conditions. However, the extent to which WGD per se fosters phenotypic and transcriptional novelties, and the relative contribution of WGD-induced changes vs post-WGD evolution to trait differentiation between cytotypes remains poorly understood. Here, we...
