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].

Identifying and characterizing plant paleopolyploidies is ongoing research. They are identified through whole genome comparisons using a combination of the data derived from genomic structure (e.g. syntenic dotplots) and evolutionary distances (e.g. synonymous mutation rates). As such, detecting these events and determining which lineages share what subset are continually changing. The images presented here represent our views right now, but are subject to change. Events that were previously undetected or missed can suddenly be seen with an improved build of a genome or the the sequencing of a fortuitously placed outgroup.

As new genomes become available, and previous genomes are updated, we will continue to improve these figures.


Plant Phylogenetic Tree With WGD Marked

Phylogenetic tree of plant species with sequenced genomes, with ancient whole genome duplications marked. Grass species are the only sequenced representatives of the monocot plant lineage, and all published eudicot genomes come from species in the rosid family.

Discussion of individual tetraploidies

1 Eudicot Hexaploidy

Synonyms: Arabidopsis Gamma

This hexaploidy (genome tripling) is shared by the core eudicots (the rosids and asterids), and may be present in additional, basal eudicots, although it will not be possible to reach this conclusion until the genomes of species from basal lineages are sequences -- AND WELL ASSEMBLED!

This whole genome duplication was first identified as the most ancient of three whole genome duplication present in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana, and assigned the name "gamma" by in 2003 by Bowers et al. [2]:

In this paper, hampered by the fact that only two plant genomes had yet been sequenced, and the ridiculously accelerated rate of base pair substitution in arabidopsis the authors concluded the gamma event was likely shared by both monocots and eudicots and could potentially be as old as the split between gymnosperms and flowering plants 300 million years ago.

With the publication of the grape genome in 2007[3] which has not experienced any duplications since the eudicot hexaploidy and doesn't show the same acceleration of nucleotide substitutions, it became possible to conclude that the eudicot hexaploidy was NOT shared with monocots and was shared by all rosids.

More recent work in the asterids[4] indicate that this highly successful eudicot clade share the same ancient whole genome duplication.

2 Arabidopsis alpha

The alpha tetraploidy of arabidopsis was first given that name in Bowers et al 2003[2]. It is shared by most or all of the crucifers (family Brassicaceae).

3 Arabidopsis beta

As of yet not a single lineage has been identified in which the beta tetraploidy (naming conventions from Bowers et al 2003[2]) is the most recent whole genome duplication. Despite what the image above might indicate, this duplication is significantly older than arabidopsis alpha, however precise dating is difficult given the acceleration of synonymous substitution rate in the arabidopsis lineage.

4 Brassica hexaploidy

The hexaploidy shared by all species in the genus Brassica is well known. So well known, I don't know what the proper citation for the discovery of this whole genome duplication is. If you know, please get in touch so the scientists responsible for this discovery -- however long ago -- can get proper credit.

5 Poplar tetraploidy

When the genome of poplar was released back in 2006, researchers announced that they had identified a new ancient whole genome duplication[5]. Poplar retains around 8000 pairs of duplicated genes.

7 Apple tetraploidy

The genome paper of apple also discussed an ancient whole genome duplication identified in that linage which they estimated to be >50 million years old [6]

8 Soybean tetraploidy

The relatively recent whole genome duplication in soybean was long suspected based a number of different forms of analysis, from analysis of Ks peaks[7], phylogenies of individual gene families[8] and analyzing the fractionation of individual sequenced regions[9]. As expected, when the genome of soybean was published in 2010, researchers did identify a recent whole genome duplication (peak ks=0.13, estimated age 13 million years ago).

9 Legume tetraploidy

The whole genome duplication shared by all legumes was initially inferred by comparison of the medicago and lotus genome assemblies to data from peanut (Arachis hypogaea) a basal lineage of that clade[10]

10 Columbine tetraploidy

11 Flowering plant tetraploidy

12 Seed Plant Tetraploidy

13 Maize Tetraploidy

14 Grass Tetraploidy

15 Monocot Tetraploidy A
