Abstract

The rapid development of sequencing technology has led to an explosion of plant genome data, opening up more opportunities for research in the field of comparative evolutionary analysis of plant genomes. In this review, we focus on changes in plant genome size and composition, examining the effects of polyploidy, whole-genome duplication, and alternations in transposable elements on plant genome architecture and evolution, respectively. In addition, to address gaps in the available information, we also collected and analyzed 234 representative plant genome data as a supplement. We aim to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date summary of information on plant genome architecture and evolution in this review.
