Widespread ancient whole-genome duplications in Malpighiales coincide with Eocene global climatic upheaval by Cai, Liming, Xi, Zhenxiang, Amorim, André M., Sugumaran, Manickam, Rest, Joshua S., Liu, Liang, Davis, Charles C.

“…Here, we explore WGDs in the diverse flowering plant clade Malpighiales. Using transcriptomes and complete genomes from 42 species, we applied a multipronged phylogenomic pipeline to identify, locate, and determine the age of WGDs in Malpighiales using three means of inference: distributions of synonymous substitutions per synonymous site (Ks) among paralogs, phylogenomic (gene tree) reconciliation, and a likelihood-based gene-count method. …”

Repeated adaptive introgression at a gene under multiallelic balancing selection. by Vincent Castric, Jesper Bechsgaard, Mikkel H Schierup, Xavier Vekemans

“…We suggest that this process plays an important role in the maintenance of high allelic diversity and divergence at the S-locus in flowering plant families. Because genes under balancing selection are expected to be among the last to stop introgressing, their comparison in closely related species provides a lower-bound estimate of the time since the species stopped forming fertile hybrids, thereby complementing the average portrait of divergence between species provided by genomic data.…”
