Interspecific introgression mediates adaptation to whole genome duplication
Whole genome duplication (WGD) presents new challenges to the establishment of optimal allelic combinations and to the meiotic machinery. Here, the authors show that adaptive gene flow from Arabidopsis arenosa could rescue the nascent A. lyrata from extinction following WGD.
