Gene count from target sequence capture places three whole genome duplication events in Hibiscus L. (Malvaceae)
Abstract Background The great diversity in plant genome size and chromosome number is partly due to polyploidization (i.e. genome doubling events). The differences in genome size and chromosome number among diploid plant species can be a window into the intriguing phenomenon of past genome doubling...
