The genomic basis of the plant island syndrome in Darwin's giant daisies

J. Cerca, B. Petersen, J. M. Lazaro Guevara, A. Rivera-Colon, S. Birkeland, J. Vizueta, S. Li, J. Loureiro, C. Kosawang, P. Jaramillo Diaz, G. Rivas-Torres, M. Fernandez-Mazuecos, P. Vargas, R. McCauley, G. Petersen, , M. D. Martin

This study characterizes the genomic basis of the plant island syndrome in Darwin's giant daisies by analyzing the genome of Scalesia atractyloides, identifying subgenomes, polyploidization events, and genes under selection.
