An evolutionary leap without rules: The environments colonized by plants with a doubled genome

Research conducted by Filip Kolář of the Faculty of Science, Charles University, and Patrick Meirmans of the University of Amsterdam has revealed that genome duplication (polyploidization)—a process playing a key role in plant evolution and breeding—has a significant but inconsistent impact on the ecological requirements of individual species.
