A little bit of sex matters for genome evolution in asexual plants
Genome evolution in asexual organisms is theoretically expected to be shaped by various factors:first, hybrid origin and polyploidy confer a genomic constitution of highly heterozygous genotypes with multiple copies of genes;second, asexuality confers a lack of recombination and variation in populat...
