Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication (WGD) provides extra substrates for genomic evolution and is thus considered as an important driving force for genetic diversity, trait innovation, and ecological adaption. Despite extensive studies on the evolutionary fates and expression patterns of duplicated genes, it remains unclear how duplicated genes co-regulate a biological process in polyploids.
