The plant lineage, and specifically angiosperms, have a genomic history of repeated whole genome duplication events. This pattern of changing their ploidy level (or number of copies of their genome) is something that happens frequently today, and many domesticated crop plants have been selected with various ploidy levels. While the mechanisms are unknown that permit polyploidy is some lineages such as plants, and not as frequently in others such as mammals [1].
