Angiosperm polyploids and their road to evolutionary success (2010, background): “Wood et al.40 attempted to overcome this by estimating the number of ploidy-changes based on the distribution of chromosome numbers, although it is unclear how well their estimation matches reality as large chromosome number reductions can occur shortly after polyploidizations.41 Mayrose et al.42 de”
Unfurling Fern Biology in the Genomics Age (2010, background): “Compared with most estimates of polyploidy before the advent of molecular tools, these numbers are quite low but similar to estimates of the incidence of polyploid species among flowering plants (Wood et al. 2009).”
Molecular mechanisms of polyploidy and hybrid vigor (2010, background): “A recent study estimates that 15% of angiosperm and 31% of fern speciation events are accompanied by an increase in ploidy [13].”
The integrative future of taxonomy (2010, background): “A textbook-example could be the recurrent cases of polyploidy speciation in plants [98].”
Evolution of Gene Duplication in Plants1[OPEN] (2016, background): “Similarly, an estimated 15% of speciation events in angiosperms and 31% in ferns were associated with an increase in ploidy (Wood et al., 2009).”
Origins of Plant Diversity in the California Floristic Province (2014, background): “Extensive polyploidization across vascular plants (Wood et al. 2009) frequently has involved hybridization (allopolyploidization; see Ramsey & Schemske 1998), as inferred from molecular and cytogenetic data in a wide diversity of CA-FP lineages.”
The “Polyploid Hop”: Shifting Challenges and Opportunities Over the Evolutionary Lifespan of Genome Duplications (2018, background): “Among angiosperms, it is estimated that 30–70% have undergone additional WGD events (Stebbins, 1938; Grant, 1963; Goldblatt, 1980; Masterson, 1994; Wood et al., 2009; Mayrose et al., 2011; Ruprecht et al., 2017).”
Is post-polyploidization diploidization the key to the evolutionary success of angiosperms? (2016, background): “Ferns contain an even greater number of speciation events involving polyploidy (∼31%; Wood et al., 2009) and they are also the group of plants with the highest reported chromosome number (2n = c. 1440; Abraham & Ninan, 1954).”
The Incidence of Polyploidy in Natural Plant Populations: Major Patterns and Evolutionary Processes (2013, background): “This will provide a stronger measure of the phylogenetic contributions to polyploid formation and establishment but will also allow us to test patterns with more rigour and generality (e.g., Vamosi and Dickinson 2006; Wood et al. 2009).”
Pure polyploidy: Closing the gaps in autopolyploid research (2017, background): “This is true in terms of both ancient polyploidy—all seed plants and all angiosperms are descendants of common polyploid ancestors (Jiao et al., 2011)—and recent polyploidy, which occurs most frequently in ferns, lycophytes, and flowering plants (Wood et al., 2009).”
Genome duplication in amphibians and fish: an extended synthesis (2011, background): “Most recently, based on detailed phylogenetic comparisons, it has been estimated that 15% of flowering plant and 31% of fern speciation events have been accompanied by a ploidy increase (Wood et al., 2009).”
