AbstractWhole genome duplication (WGD) brings challenges to key processes like meiosis, but nevertheless is associated with diversification in all kingdoms. How is WGD tolerated, and what processes commonly evolve to stabilize the new polyploid lineage? Here we study this in Cochlearia spp., which have experienced multiple rounds of WGD in the last 300,000 years.
