Ancient allopolyploidy and specific subgenomic evolution drove the radiation of poplars and willows - Nature Communications

Detecting early allopolyploidy events and understanding the specific subgenomic evolution contributing to the origin of adaptive innovations for species radiation are challenging. Here, the authors address these problems by analyzing nine newly assembled genomes of Salicaceae species from different genera.
