Whole Genome Duplication Affects Evolvability of Flowering Time in an Autotetraploid Plant Sara L. Martin*, Brian C. Husband Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada Abstract Whole genome duplications have occurred recurrently throughout the evolutionary history of eukaryotes. The resulting genetic and phenotypic changes can influence physiological and ecological responses to the environment; however, the impact of genome copy number on evolvability has rarely been examined experimentally. Here, we evaluate the ef
