Untying Gordian knots: unraveling reticulate polyploid plant evolution by genomic data using the large Ranunculus auricomus species complex

What is it about?

Speciation via hybridization and polyploidization is a major evolutionary force in plant evolution but is still poorly understood for neopolyploid groups. We demonstrate that the biodiversity of neopolyploid complexes can result from multiple hybrid origins involving different progenitors and substantial post-origin evolution.
