Page "Polyploid" Paragraph 44

Other eukaryotic taxa have experienced one or more polyploidization events during their evolutionary history ( see Albertin and Marullo, 2012 for review ).

The oomycetes, which are non-true fungi members, contain several examples of paleopolyploid and polyploid species, such as within the Phytophthora genus.

Some species of brown algae ( Fucales, Laminariales and diatoms ) contain apparent polyploid genomes.

In the Alveolata group, the remarkable species Paramecium tetraurelia underwent three successive rounds of whole-genome duplication and established itself as a major model for paleopolyploid studies.
