Polyploid - diploid coexistence in the greater duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza
Polyploidy, resulting from whole-genome duplication (WGD), is widespread among plants and originates in sympatry with their lower-ploidy progenitors. New polyploids can only succeed when they overcome...
Polyploid success isn’t just about growing fast—it’s about outcompeting progenitors! 🌱
We had neopolyploid duckweed and their progenitor invade each other, testing how stress & frequency-dependent growth shape WGD success... or failure. @yvdp.bsky.social #polyploid #duckweed

Evolving better E. coli for 75,000 generations. Prof at MSU, but opinions my own. (Ok, I also speak for billions -- er, TRILLIONS -- of E. coli.)
