Abstract: | Background Gene duplication is central to genome evolution. In plants, genes can be duplicated through small-scale events and large-scale
duplications often involving polyploidy. The apple belongs to the subtribe Pyrinae (Rosaceae), a diverse lineage that originated
via allopolyploidization. Both small-scale duplications and polyploidy may have been important mechanisms shaping the genome
of this species. |
