Neopolyploidy increases stress tolerance and reduces fitness plasticity across multiple urban pollutants: support for the ‘general purpose’ genotype hypothesis
2023-09-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Whole genome duplication is a common macromutation with extensive impacts from gene expression, to cellular function, and whole organism phenotype. As a result, it has been proposed that polyploids have ‘general purpose’ genotypes that perform better than their diploid progenitors under stressful conditions. Here we test this hypothesis in the context of stresses presented by anthropogenic pollu...
