“…In this work, we studied the transcriptomes of neotetraploids (2n = 4x = 32) obtained by crossing two diploid (2n = 2x = 16) plants of Medicago sativa that produce a significant percentage of either 2n eggs or pollen. Diploid progeny from the same cross allowed us to separate the transcriptional outcomes of hybridization from those of WGD. …”
