title = "A Genomics Approach to the Study of Ancient Polyploidy and Floral Developmental Genetics",
abstract = "Comparative genomics approaches are proving to be extremely valuable for the study of gene function, gene duplications, and genome evolution. In this chapter we discuss how cross-species comparisons of gene sequences and gene-expression patterns are elucidating the evolution of many plant processes including the regulation of reproduction. Emphasis is placed on the implications of gene and genome duplications for the evolution of genome structure and plant reproduction. In addition, we show that comparative analyses can both promote transfer of knowledge from model to nonmodel systems and inform our understanding of conserved processes in model species.",

note = "Funding Information: We would like to thank all participants in the Plant Reproductive Genomics Workshop held at the Plant and Animal Genome Conference in 2005. We also thank all those involved in the Floral Genome Project for many stimulating discussions on the points raised in this chapter, especially Andr{\'e} Chanderbali, Sangtae Kim, Doug Soltis, and Pam Soltis for their thoughtful comments on an early version of our manuscript. Finally, we thank the National Science Foundation Plant Genome Research Program for support of the Floral Genome Project (DBI‐0115684).",
