Abstract
In this issue of Cell, Chen et al. analyze angiosperm genomes to map whole-genome duplication events, revealing non-random waves of polyploidy linked to climatic shifts and periods of low diversity. They suggest polyploids may have preferentially established during periods of environmental stress, shaping plant evolutionary history across multiple global events.
