Our understanding of polyploid genome evolution is constrained because we cannot know the exact founders of a particular polyploid. To differentiate between founder effects and post polyploidization evolution, we use a pan-genomic approach to study the allotetraploid Brachypodium hybridum and its diploid progenitors. Comparative analysis suggests that most B.

- Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) originated ~7500 years ago from the hybridization of two species, B. rapa and B. oleracea, followed by chromosome doubling, a process known as allopolyploidy.
- The genome study revealed complex interactions between the newly formed An and Cn subgenomes, showing structural and functional exchanges alongside the beginnings of gene loss and expression changes.
- Natural selection in B. napus has notably promoted the reduction of glucosinolate genes while enhancing oil biosynthesis genes, shedding light on how allopolyploidy affects crop evolution and improvement.
