Reticulate allopolyploidy and subsequent dysploidy drive evolution and diversification in the cotton family by Ren-Gang Zhang, Hang Zhao, Justin L. Conover, Hong-Yun Shang, De-Tuan Liu, Min-Jie Zhou, Xiong-Fang Liu, Kai-Hua Jia, Shi-Cheng Shao, Meng-Meng Li, Chong-Yang Jin, Yi-Hui Liu, Xiao-Yi Shen, Da-Wei Li, Martin A. Lysak, Jonathan F. Wendel, Xiao-Yang Ge, Yong-Peng Ma

“…Abstract Polyploidy and subsequent post-polyploid diploidization (PPD) are key drivers of plant genome evolution, yet their contributions to evolutionary success remain debated. Here, we analyze the Malvaceae family as an exemplary system for elucidating the evolutionary role of polyploidy and PPD in angiosperms, leveraging 11 high-quality chromosome-scale genomes from all nine subfamilies, including newly sequenced, near telomere-to-telomere assemblies from four of these subfamilies. …”
