Polyploidization is accompanied by synonymous codon usage bias in the chloroplast genomes of both cotton and wheat.
Synonymous codon usage bias (SCUB) of both nuclear and organellar genes can mirror the evolutionary specialization of plants. The polyploidization process exposes the nucleus to genomic shock, a syndrome which promotes, among other genetic variants, SCUB. Its effect on organellar genes has not, howe...
