Whole-genome duplications, widely observed in plant lineages, have significant evolutionary and ecological impacts. Yet, our current understanding of the direct implications ploidy shifts on short- long-term evolution remains fragmentary, necessitating further investigations across multiple levels. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a valuable model organism with profound potential to study impact increase longer term laboratory environment. This partly due ability level. We developed strategy...
Summary Genome merging is a common phenomenon causing wide range of consequences on phenotype, adaptation, and gene expression, yet its broader implications are not well‐understood. Two genome expression remain particularly poorly understood: dosage effects evolution expression. We employed Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as model to investigate the asymmetric by crossing diploid with haploid strain create novel triploid line. Five independent clonal lineages derived from this line were evolved...

Whole genome duplications, widely observed in plant lineages, have significant evolutionary and ecological impacts. Yet, our current understanding of the direct implications ploidy shifts on short- long-term evolution remains fragmentary, necessitating further investigations across multiple levels. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a haploid green alga, is valuable model organism with profound potential to study impact increase longer-term laboratory environment. This partly due ability...
